yesterday i gave Water. it takes about 2 hours. All the while, i tried to FEEL the Forest of the Hill. When that was done, i just went to the place of the small metal house and the Morning Tree. Same there. Then, over into the old Doe Goat Forest. Same. The Diorama of the moment....What is it? I thought about how the people came, and within this Forest created spaces and filled those spaces with themselves and their doings. The Forest said ok and just watched. What if it were all abandoned because it was too hard?
a lot of the Plant Beings of the Wall Garden and the B Garden couldn't make it....first those days of no water when we were not allowed through and all the while the smoke and ash. But in the midst is the Malabar Spinach.
This morning there is a post on Treetop Permaculture....Matthew Trumm's FaceBook page. See if you can go there. He talks about rebuilding at Berry Creek, the "Paradise of 2020", he has a Place there. He talks about building in a Fire Ecology. He addresses things about code and permits for the kind of building that is sensitive to that Fire Ecology....homes made of earthen plaster, rammed earth, cobb, strawbale, hempcrete, aircrete, chip crete or a combination. I wanted Jenny and Alyssia to find a Place to Live. Live a life of their own creation. They found the Hill. and now, there are complications. Big beyond anyone's control. But i look at the images Matthew shares. I sit now staring at them today. No te rindas i say. No te rindas.
Everything is Circle. Years ago in New Mex i asked some friends to build Jenny a rammed earth press. for making building bricks. They did and Alyssia has dragged it with her through all the multiple moves. It weighs at least 200 lbs. Right now it's sitting somewhere in Jenny's apartment's backyard in Chico.
