there are these moments when everything is So Clear. So Bright, even hard things. It happened that way this morning, just before Sun Rise as i began to read
it appeared exactly so timely, in my awareness and now here, in my hands....with what has been rising lately on different blogs, that questioning....the Why? The ? of value of things, our words, our makings, and as i began reading there was an exhilarating knowing that what DOES matter and matter Greatly is the telling of it. The story of It. either with word or our hand....well, really, with both. Stories. how we share our humanity in Bright or Dark times. It matters. The stories allow the Bright into the Dark and let dark live in the Bright.
and i thought of an exchange i had with Michelle a while ago when i said....that we have spent lives, she and i, collecting Wisdoms and now it seems to be time to put them into play.
In 2004 i read the Power of Now and then in 2008, A New Earth. I digested these and have held things in me since then, but have not gone back to him, Eckhart Tolle. In the last days simultaneously with the Field Notes about Fear, his work has appeared in my email box and i would just pass by but then decided to click and since, a few days, have been watching UTubes, looking on his website....how he is working with the thing of Presence. Presence being a dimension of consciousness. And....Field Notes...he gave me that beautyFull tool...what he refers to as a portal...the focusing on the aliveness of the hands, the feet.
This is a perfect time for me to begin this work, with Presence. And in doing that today,
i took down a larger piece of cloth that has been pinned to the window curtain just here, in front of me as i type on this screen, a piece of linen from Dana, of Raven and Sparrow, and i ripped it. Went to find the right piece of linen again, but this from Deb Lacativa. The harem cloth inside. Invisible baste [Jude Hill/Spirit Cloth]
how right here, on this messy Right, a scrap was waiting
and here we have it. That ever present, always has been present, always will be present, ... Space of Presence. How to stay with it. How to stay IN it. This one is called, Presence and the beings of Joy. Maybe tomorrow i'll make a sleeve on the back and put it in the shop.
right before this post, i scratched something and could feel it oozing down,,,the cool on my ankle and looking now, i see that it's quite beauty FULL....all solid and dry. These kinds of things always make me happy. Since i don't go to doctors, i have no real clue about how i'm doing except for just noticing things as they arise. Like this....i am very good at Clotting. I take this as a sign of health.
