I have a visual of you ending the day hoping to shut out the noise by learning how to grow grade A heirloom tomatoes, falling down the earthworm rabbit hole and when you finally come up for air you have this brilliant, all-too-perfect metaphor!
Shanley, this is the best metaphor for the current regime to date. By the way, I will never again be able to look at trump again without seeing a hammerhead flatworm.
Brilliant! What a vivid, astute metaphor. My garden beds have become a source of wonder since reading your essays. We’re cheering for the earthworms, the real ones and human ones - and hope to emulate the human ones! Thank you - you and your Mom are truly gifted.
Shanley's is the voice calmly, clearly, repeatedly reminding the distraught Karen class franticly crying out for a manager, a representative, a chatbot, for heaven's sake, won't somebody, anybody do something?!... we are the heroes we need right now. we always have been.
Great analogy - but don't mix these critters up with the ones featured in the Worm Runner's Digest! (Planaria) - these terrestial bastards (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipalium) have even invaded Oz (Bipalium kewense (Hammerhead flatworm) - NatureMapr Australia
naturemapr.org › The Shovel-headed Garden Worm, like other flatworms, does not have a respiratory or circulatory system, a skeleton, or an anus.
Dammit - anal absence - that is maybe one aspect that Trump could emulate.
Well done!!!!
Love the invasive worm comparison to our invasive occupant of the Oval office
Great metaphor for our troubles!
Thank you for this brilliant writing! Your stunning metaphors teach and bring a warm smile carrying hope.
Congratulations on your wonderful home and thriving garden.
I am grateful that your son's health challenges are finding real helpers. All will be well.
🪱🪱🪱🪳🪰🐛going back out to my garden to ponder
I hope you met some new friends during your pondering! Enjoy!

Seriously genius writing.😊
Brilliant analogy. I don’t garden, but will be forever on the lookout for flatworms.
Bravo.
Sat on! Nothing else needs to be said
Meant this to say “spot on”
Gold star!!! I am ever so impressed with your essays..
Fantastic!! (check out my son's Seacoast Compost near you if you want some magical compost for your garden!!)
Alice! This is a frantically late response, but I wanted to tell you that I did, and I reached out to inquire about products for our backyard garden!
Oh good!! I think you will love my son Peter and his family!! I am moving near him in Coos Bay in a couple of months!!

Excellent! And now I feel bad about the earthworm I accidentally cut in half yesterday!! Keep up your excellent work, please!!!
