Bedlam Farm is shrouded in love. For some years, I lived a loveless life here, surrounded by animals and people who sucked the life and love out of me – my fault. Now, I have found love here, and it is the most precious thing on the earth. I write about connecting with Red and him being my partner, but I learned what a partner is from Maria, who I love more each day and live in gratitude and humility for that. I never thought I would find love like this.

“Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.”

— Wendell Berry
