“Ode to the feral women”

I’d like to tell you that my dishes have only piled up the past 2 days because I’ve been around the clock prepping for this atrocious weather but that would only be partially true.

They pile up any time I can find anything reasonably justified to do other than dishes. Just as laundry follows the same suit as well as cooking and cleaning at times.

When I was married to my first husband he frequently pointed out that I lacked domestic skills. When he (my was-band) would get irritated I would turn it back onto him and tell him he also could do dishes and laundry as well as cook and clean. His argument was he needed to tend the yard or shovel the snow. I told him I also wanted to tend yard or shovel snow. I realized then it wasn’t that I lacked skill but desire.

My soul is not set fire by being the best home maker but by growing flowers and plants, shoveling dirt, snow or manure, breathing the cold fresh air, letting them sun beat on my face, and tending animals.

It is not that I can not cook and clean it’s that I desire to be else where.

I’ve struggled with the fact that I am well me. I am a feral woman. As much as I wish I could be the sweet and clean home maker, I am
not.

I finally made peace with this when I saw a quote circulating around that said, “the term domesticate house wife implies there must be a feral one”

It’s me and other women I know. I am and we are feral women.

We may not have perfect houses but we still make them a home. We may not clean the dishes right after every meal but we can sure cook a good meal. The laundry is lagging but at the end of the day everyone has something clean to wear. We may not be domesticate but it does not make us less.

If anything our strength is found as we carry feed sacks across our shoulders,as we till up dirt to plant gardens, as we end a life to provide food for our families all while we still carry the softness of a woman.

Here is to the feral women. May we be them, may we know them, may we raise them.
