can you be a goat herder with no goats?

i am goatless

i do not like it one bit

in my heart and my head whilst i sleep, i am still with them all

behind the stone house in the green, green fields......

my making continues

piece after piece

i have no idea what to do with them next?

etsy feels so cold and unfriendly

i would rather like these makes to be seen by real people ....

real people that can gaze upon each creation and wonder why it was made

they may even hold the goat in the palm of their hand

i would like that.
