We Stand in the Middle 20

Equine Elocution

“What can I say that I have not said before? So I'll say it again. The leaf has a song in it. Stone is the face of patience. Inside the river there is an unfinishable story and you are somewhere in it and it will never end until all ends. Take your busy heart to…the forest. The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child is singing still…” - Mary Oliver

Chapter 20 of We Stand in the Middle has dropped. Maddy’s life is becoming more and more complicated as she tries to make sense of the strange events occurring on the property while having to deal with all too real trespassers, legal battles, and murder accusations.

If you’re new to the story, the list of all previous chapters is below. I hope you enjoy and will comment and consider supporting my work. Writing, as we all know, is time consuming, challenging, and yes rewarding work. But even wordsmiths have to eat. Thank you!
