A lyrical exploration of paradox: feeling profound emptiness while surrounded by abundant life on an Australian farm. Through the daily rhythms of caring for Maremma sheep dogs and livestock, this reflection examines how rural isolation amplifies rather than simplifies emotions, and how meaning can temporarily vanish even in a purpose-filled existence. The piece traces the quiet journey from disconnection back to engagement, revealing how even hollow moments serve as necessary pauses that prepare the soul for renewal.
