Submitted federal and state taxes with a clear conscience (due April 15 or government puts usury boot on neck charging 8% interest). Well, clearer anyway. As a married couple filing jointly, the mafia still has me by the sneaks. Rose isn’t playing, nor do I want her to. Not yet. We’re both in training for a new living. Though it does feel good, keeping under the U.S. poverty threshold creatively. Paintings get made, and rice be digested. I walk a little bit freer, and breathe deeper. I believe I am teaching my body and soul about “peace” of mind in a future time. And while at it, I make the present so much more inspiring. A friend dropped off maple syrup, and my mother-in-law gifted me a giant jar of honey. I am honored by the support. I take a spoonful or two a day to sweeten the protest.
