Responses to Your Questions from Seth Wyse
It is with true pleasure that I take the time to write to you...I always have time for what's on a woman's mind---as my bruder, Jacob, can tell you is true. And, writing to you has helped me fill in the gaps in my time a little since Jacob married Lilly and I find myself alone more and more. So, thank you for your questions.
Yours,
Seth
Why and What made you begin to start painting ??
Hiya Brooke,
Well, I guess I started painting around when I was nine. I slipped into a store when I was in town with daed and bought a paint by number set--it was dogs or something, but I used the paint and little cardboard canvas to do a painting of my mamm hanging wash on the line---not very special, but always an image in my mind. I hid that painting under my bed for a long time and then my mamm found it and we had sort of a family meeting to talk about it. Art isn't something that we Amish tend to dwell on much unless it's in woodworking or leather working. But my parents asked the bishop and I was allowed to paint, so long as I kept up my work with the horses. I guess what made me start was God's Hand...I can't explain it any other way, Brooke. It just feels right when my hands are stained with colors and my shirt is splotched--I just feel more alive.
So thanks, sweet, for the questions,
Seth
Seth, how long did you consider buying your neighbor's farm?
Well Ms. Martha, building a working horse farm business with Jacob just seemed to happen along. My daed had land and we added to it some. I guess I was about sixteen when I figgured working with horses was going to be my purposeful work in life...We Amish talk about the idea of "there is no beauty without purpose..." I suppose it's true, from the way a woman walks to the way a horse runs...
Yours,
Seth
Seth, I am curious regarding how long have you known that you have been in love with your neighbor (the widow)?
Ach, toughest question yet...Does everyone know that I love her but her? Jah, it's probably so. (I'm laughing here a bit at myself). I don't know how to reach her and as for how long it's been--I guess it feels like forever. Like all my life became clear focused when I looked into her eyes. I sound like a boy in rumspringa--- and anyway, it's probably not going to work out. The beautiful Widow Beiler HATES me for some reason, and I can't get her to talk let alone tell me what she really thinks. It's enough to unbalance a man...so...I guess my answer is to steer clear of her, no matter what happens.
With Heart,
Seth

Seth, thank you for responding to my questions. I so enjoy meeting and talking with people that have found their passion in life. I am still hunting for mine.
Don't give up on "the widow" but let God be your compass. Sincerely, Martha
P.S. This was truly so much fun Kelly!

Seth, I'm sure if you let her know how much you cared for her and what it does to you when you look into her eyes..you will get some response.She probably likes you too and is afraid to say something to you as she doesn't know how to go about it..Take her for a ride on a horse..Do things you know she likes to do too..I am so anxious for the next book to come out and see just how your relationship developes..I'm sure she likes you just as much as you like her, but you both seem afraid to let the other one know..
