the Live Oak on this Hill. Many. and many have multiple trunks. this one is in the old Doe Goat Forest...in this pic you see 5. There's actually 6. I don't know anything about how this occurs. So far, i find no information. But it IS. and i will continue to look. I want to find some universal object that i can use to be able to show the size of these trees. I've never seen anything like them before. An average lifespan is 200 years.
looking up.
I feel extremely grateful and also amazed that i get to live this last part of my life here. Who would've guessed. Coming from a childhood in the midwest on a creek. Spending my middle years in a desert world. then, coming here.
What am i trying to talk about now? how to talk about it. It may be off putting. So be it. Hopefully i'll find words that will tell the truth of what i am experiencing. How the Now of my life is so rooted in that childhood at the Michigan creek. How there has been a pulse, a thread that held over all the years..
Nature. We talk about Nature. it's a word that's like sky. How we talk about sky....that blue stuff overhead, but sky is so much. Sky is the Whole of what holds this Planet, sky is deep, heavy, strong science. And deep heavy strong Sacred. Science and Sacred being Same. "nature", Same.
I want to learn how to talk about the beingness of things. Or i don't want to continue here at all.
Each person who comes here can take or leave any of it, it doesn't matter to me at all. What matters is if i keep telling the story of how i experience life in my most genuine way, out of the Felt Sense of All of It.
