It, was about working. The land. And, what was on it, as well as what could be made of it. In the eyes of others, he shone. He, was a " grafter " ! Even if he lacked the main thrust of the argument he was willing to learn. All he could. Whenever, he could. Wherever, he could. On," The Farm " ! It, was a mixture of arable and livestock " husbandry " and in this character profile there was room to breathe. And, to come to more, and be more. The nature of the place was far greater than the sum of its parts. Here, he could develop. Here, he could grow. He, did. That, was obvious. To, all of those around, these parts. Where, life ran at a different pace. With due credit being paid to experience. And, expertise.
He, knew what he could get. And, from there, he showed what was to be achieved from dedication, and efforts. Through application of what was born from the " right " education. In the ways of the world, especially here, there was time to reflect on what could be gained, as well as what could be lost. How nice was, that, he often considered. Whole-heartedly. He, knew his " place " loving every moment spent within the sanctuary of " The Farm " and within its " sheltered " community. There, was a belief in better, here, and with it sound principles, referred to, for a grounding, with foundations of relationship building upon the past. How could any not be impressed by what went on ? And, came off. Especially, the " administration " who liked the " gain " to produce the yield, all aspired to. The substance, he saw, really did outweigh the " style " !
He, had his leisure to remember, too. The farm being everything anyone could need, to enjoy the benefits of " outdoor living. " The cultivation of your spirit and resolve to make a difference, was highlighted. At every turn. In the midst of a " work ethic " was found the means to release oneself from burdens, and feel free, to roam as one wished. Probably, anywhere. He, knew what there was on offer. And, he made the youthfulness he had nurtured come, to the fore. In his vision of life, at this location, he could also strive for greatest pleasure. " Far And Away " from the " rat race " with its trivial philanderings. As associated with irritating compliance with formulaic designs. The " dream " here, seemed to be realized. Where, elsewhere it was not. In the same manner. It, was in the boundaries of this place that was made use of everything, to enhance " rest, and play. " Also. He, was happy. In whatever he did. Why would, that, not be ?
At night, he went " lamping. " He, was a good shot. So, was asked to hunt down the diseased " bunnies " to promote clean-lifestyle choices. In " The Dark " he assumed responsibility for the efficient capture, and elimination of " vermin, " to bring " peace, of mind " ! Beyond, " howling, at the moon " ! Thus, he could amuse himself in " The Getaway " to find the preservation of health and happiness. To, the benefit of " the business " with all that could give. To, anyone, cared to explore another culture. The, tendency to take anything for granted, was dismissed, and avoided, due to an appreciation of the historic recollections. In the " public house " ! Where, " merry Hell " could always break loose. And, did.Β " How Green Is The Valley " he chortled, often. As he " downed " what he fancied. A " wonderful " life ! Climate permitting.
