my rooster doesn’t crow when the sun rises, he crows when he hears humans wake up, like you can literally just roll over in bed and he’s like “hoLY SHIT THAT’S A PEOPLE THE HUMAN ISAWAKE AHHH AHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
the same rooster - god guys he’s socute - he always lets hens eat treats first and won’t have any treats until they’ve had as much as they want, unless it’s a blueberry. shit, blueberries are like serious fucking business for Pharaoh. he’s a gentleman until the damn blueberries come out and then he don’t play no fuckin games
in case you were wondering this is him
It’s been almost a year since I made this post so I guess I should update you guys on Pharaoh!
He’s still a sweetie but with more attitude and will fuck up your shit if he’s grumpy or if you’re wearing shoes with shoelaces. He doesn’t like that. He watches Netflix with me a lot and cries anytime theres explosions or gunshots in a show. He has so many chicken lady friends who he adores and he has fathered 4 chicks. I tried to train him to walk on a leash but he protested by laying down and refusing to move, so we gave that up after a while. He likes to guard me from cars and squirrels, and even plastic bags (which are his worst fear)
-feel the pain, don’t be ashamed of it or afraid to feel it.
-allow yourself to grieve, but do not allow yourself to become consumed by it. It is just a feeling, and not who you are, and definitely not how you will feel the rest of your life.
-we feel our heart can be broken because it’s the way we perceive our love while in human bodies, but when we realize we are love and our love is limitless because we are made of it, we realize we are unbroken. Our souls can never be broken.
-but, we are in human bodies right now, and sometimes we feel the pain so much that we can’t take it, so we have to remind ourselves that this feeling is not who we are and find ways to feel close to our soul again.
-we do this by doing things that make us feel happy and alive; if you don’t know what that is, have fun exploring and finding what that is
-one thing that we can all do to feel closer to our soul is simply to be present. It sounds so simple, but for a lot of us it can be a challenge because our thoughts won’t allow us to be.
-and remember, every time you go through something that makes you feel weak, it is actually making you stronger. You are healing, but at the same time, you are also growing.
"Yet this year,
yanking off all past years,
I took the bait
and was pulled upward, upward,
into the sky and was held by the sun–
the quick wonder of its yellow lap–
and became a woman who learned her own shin
and dug into her soul and found it full," - Anne Sexton, from “The Break Away” (via oofpoetry) +753
