Caring in a Carefree World

Caring in a Carefree World: A week of colic, caretaking, and unexpected grace

This week in Relatively Stable, I’m reading the latest installment from Stable Roots—a piece that started as a reflection on a colicking pony and turned into something much bigger.

It’s about what happens when the boundaries between caregiving and daily life dissolve. When the barn becomes both a hospice and a sanctuary. When Coke becomes a medicine. When the work—the feeding, the cleaning, the showing up—becomes the thing that saves you, again.

In this episode, I talk about bringing my father home for hospice care, Lady’s colic, the rhythm of caretaking, and the kind of redemption that happens when you don't run away from the hard things.

If you’re in a season where you're showing up for others while trying to stay intact yourself, this one is for you.
