THIS. oh, This. i have said, off and on, that i live by Signs. this is true. , when there Are signs. There will be times when there are not. and so, i just go. wait. but then...sometimes, something like this. I've had this book for a while. but when i was writing about wanting a Teacher, and then it went on, to finding the photograph of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and clearing the altar, setting him there, remembering my Intention, remembering getting Waylayed by my own design, and in the midst of all this, needing to find this book. Needing to find this particular painting.
So today i googled more, Jane Bregoli, and found facesofNB.com, an Artists listing, and at the end of her modest blurb, "for more information" and a phone number.
i called it. She answered.
She answered. Her. Jane Bregoli. and i had the most so GREAT conversation with her. She is retiring from teaching Art in the public schools. She is participating in a summer program at the Dartmouth Public Library about the book. they will make
GOAT PUPPETS
with her retirement, she hopes to make more children's books.
and, , , , she will contact the person who makes prints for her. She will find out about a print of the above painting.
the original is privately owned and is.....Four feet by 8 feet in size. Can you imagine? Can you imagine the Beingness of this ?
so...i am so so happy. so happy that i am not shy about finding what i need to find. happy because she is just a Very Fine Woman that was a joy to talk to. happy because i might really have a print of this and what it might mean to me over my long haul here with Goats....to have as Teacher a Goat Lady Supreme, her best goat Anna.
and Marti and her family came and the kids were great and the Goats were great but i loved this pic best of the children's dad being King of the Stump with little daughter looking up.....
and then, after all that, it was all quiet again
and i just looked at cloth. thinking i was looking for how to just go with the Cloth and String Loom cloth, but as it went on, i saw that there is a second cloth there too. one with that worn tomato plant tie. and this was such a great thing to find out.
