My father was born in 1920 on the same farm in northern Illinois where I grew up. His mother was born there in the house her father built.
My father showed me bloodroot in the woods and told me when he was a boy he would meet a man at the train station each week who would buy the bloodroot he had gathered.
Kenny Ausubel, cofounder of Bioneers, wrote a book and produced a movie about Harry Hoxsey and his cancer treatment where bloodroot was a component.
My father showed me bloodroot in 1960. I heard about Harry Hoxsey in 1997.
I’m sorry things are just so hard. I know this doesn’t help, but you have so SO much to offer and I can’t help but feel there is a community just longing for you, where you can give and receive up close support while you heal/come to terms.
In the UK we have a home share scheme where young people live as companions for older people in exchange for a room - can’t there be a woman artist in Boulder with your name on?!
I can’t offer to set up a fund but will gladly promote one xx
Thank you, love, for sharing your words. I'm looking into possible options, but I'm thinking I'll have to return to the States soon. I'm too ill to keep going the way I have. It was workable with my tiny hoard of savings, but that's gone. The UK companion arrangement scheme sounds lovely. Will have to see what turns up... xxx
Let's talk this weekend, ya? I'm very proud of you for posting this. <3
