Equinox. the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away nor toward the Sun.
how could this BE?, this perfection of planetary tilt or not? how did it happen? how did it STAY happening, how we COUNT on it staying happening. we even make ........... calendars. i have been affected by the presence of someone not quite 3 who asks with every breath, "Why?" "How?" "What kind?" and it's not to just engage the adult, but he is totally sincere, Real, with his questions. and i don't have to "dumb down" the answers i attempt to give. i tell him everything i know. he listens. sometimes commenting, sometimes just listens and goes off.
the glow. almost dusk. 2 more days. the crickets have begun The Single Note. ALL of them, in a huge circle extending out to forever, sing. Sing the Same Single Note. non~stop. breathing...when/how do they Breathe? there is not a single pause. it is constant. how can this be? Why?
on the right is the beginning of the Goat Thing. a place where they can come and climb, fling themselves off in flight. the floundering grandson made it with no nails, no screws, just tension and balance.
