morning again. i have no picture. am moving around in the question of What Works?.
in the link that nance sent:
"time is the raw material of creation"
"The math of time is simple: you have less than you think and need more than you know."
these two thoughts are enough i think. they say it all, really. ok then. How does this work? What will work. i am getting down to yet another Basic Equation. How can i do it/What works? Soon, the milking will begin. and with milking is a lot of DETAIL. cleanliness for one. and not simple cleanliness, but impeccability. sterile. cannot sterilize the teats, but they too must be washed. very clean. clean. ok. any storage jars must be steril. cheese making pots, sterile. kitchen surfaces. as can be guessed, we are talking about Time.
so i need to really evaluate what i NEED to have in the days. and then, how to Make it Work....so there is Enough room for what i NEED. so, these posts right now are about looking at that.
I NEED to have cloth time. not only time to Make it, but Time to Dream it UP. Time to let it come under it's own terms.
I NEED to go forward with the Goat partnership...milk. cheese.
what else? well...the established requirements, little things of living, the largest of which is Meditation time. i think i worked that out this morning, or began to. and Season will change it all around. but for now, in the warm months, i like to get up when it's still dark. make coffee. sit. let the threads of the nights dreams untangle from me. and after that first cup of coffee, i like to go back to bed. it's usually another 20 minutes or so of sleep and i get to wake up all over again, more Ready. this morning i just positioned the pillows in the bed and immediately began my meditation there instead of coming out to the morning chair where all around me there are things to look at, things that call my attention. so...i want to see if it works to just Sit in bed. i'll bring down all those extra pillows so i can sit against the wall at the head of the bed.
will see if that Works.
looks pretty much done. at a glance. how i did this is hand stitch linen to the existing cushion covers...while they were ON the cushions. i have callouses on finger tips.
the square paint thingy on the right side is the one called Willowy White. on the faux Ivory, it looks a grey green??? on the blue wall, it's an undescribable uhhhh "presence". i like it. and maybe i would like it as the cabinet doors???
the high cabinet doors are patinaed with cooking grease. i cannot say how much i love the deep glowey amber color. i took one off and cleaned it last week. it is now not so beautiful at all. and then...What about the collage on the wall???? with the faux ivory, the whole energy is changed. but maybe it's the way stuff goes. the purpose of all this change is to set a new tone for when all the cheese making gets underway.
so this is it for a while. mind drifted to cloth and i have 3 days now for that. for those days, i'll just look at what i have done.
