Journal: the Epiphany...the Visualizing Sitting with Salzberg, understanding about Happy, about "being" happy but not identifying it as happy. hence, the difficulty with May I be happy. So GREAT.
i cut it. First thing this morning.
and more. And getting this far, i knew i was going to want the pieces to Fray. so i pulled edges with my fingernails, no, and tried to undo the weave with a needle, no. It's linen and i realized how little i really understand about linen.
next was to wash it, see if the washing would loosen the weave in a different way but i had to do it by hand and i have no dryer which can sometimes change the edges of things.
drying on one of the Janet Chairs
i thought all was lost.
first, there was too much of the All That IS coming into the center. Ok. and then, the edges of the Circle...no fray, but i invisibly basted close together and all around and then as i was looking i rubbed the edge with my finger which was wet from washing my hands. The fibers kind of curled back and it's Great! I had been thinking: I will NEVER use linen again, but i like what it did and i can just know that it won't Fray, like cotton. MAJOR LESSON.
It is GOOD. it is another Metta Cloth. the second one. OK. Happiness.
right in the center, just at the top edge of the shadow behind the laundry baskey, a shape. A young Jack rabbit. First time ever. Not good. I hoped it would just Go the way it Came but again just a while ago, still there. So i am doing this now and then staying Out the rest of the evening. Going to see if i can close off the Corridor so i can let Tay back there. Maybe. If it stays there, it will eventually come through the Corridor and into the Front where the food gardens are and that would be the end of that unless Tay could chase it out someway but that also might be the end of the food gardens if she runs through them after it.
