A cup of coffee overflows onto a saucer, while birds gather on a shelf to peck at suet. A grandmother puts on her best and decides to act without knowing the full story.
Sadie takes us into the fields and the woods that served as her second home. She shares the fantasy of possessing a forsaken shack where, nearby, a skunk shows mercy in contrast to human cruelty.
We surmise the social rules that keep us from stepping in: fear of getting it wrong, of making it worse, of being accused of meddling, and why believing children matters. This is a story about the power of one steady adult and the brave decisions that can shore up enough endurance to go on.
If this story moves you, share it with someone who needs courage, and follow for more of Sadie’s journey. Thanks for listening.
