remember the mood rings? it would have begun flickering the other day when i remembered that Rune out of nowhere. Adversity. the simple configuration of pine needles triggering it, the memory. Down at B. Took a while but a very slight reference completly out of context set things in motion. I woke off and on all night, getting up, going Out with the Goats who sleep just outside the door now, going Out and standing, indulging in the mood about maybe ending up in this travel trailer through yet another Rain season. I might. Actually, i think the odds are good that i might. Bummer, if so. So yesterday eve, the goodbyes were vague and this morning when Jenny arrived, the greeting vague. Alyssia was way late so Jenny and i worked in silence...she at cutting and loading poison oak vines into the truck, me at dragging the 3 articles of heavy wooden yard furniture from New Mex. Julian came to ask if i was feeling lonely...no and him swatting a fly carefully to just knock it out and then flinging it in to the Spider who lives in the morning window. We watched in silence as she wrapped it and hauled it up out of sight and he said, OK and went off. And i indulged the Mood. But got restless from that indulgence but still wanting the Distance, did some on this and it quieted things. Adversity. An interesting construct.
