so.
things are happening. Momentum. a sense of confidence and accomplishment. of what Is and what Can be.
for as much as saying, speaking , has been the work of Blue, for me , Listening is more. For sure, there is Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say...awareness of idle and careless conversation.....but also TO LISTEN. To honor PAUSE before response.
the big example of that is my heretofore refusal to consider moving this travel trailer. I simply would not allow the thought. It was too much, For no good reason. It CAN be moved. It CAN be prepared to move. And it then......it then can
come back. With all the STUFF i have kept. It is not an all or nothing. They have tried to say that now and then but i refused to listen. I listen now and FEEL the softening of that. A collective exhale. a collective OK. ok then.
so we begin planning for this Circle of Seasons. the fine tuning of what we have learned, what we want to learn. We know that we all are wholeheartedly committed to this Hill. I know that if it all goes up in smoke, i would just come back. As soon as the embers die. I would come back. Set up camp. Set up housekeeping. Set up Goat keeping, Set up Hill keeping in whatever way necessary. I have clarified for myself what Peace of Mind might be and that is that minivan that could stand ready with all the basics. And then, beyond that, what we can, however we can.
The truth, or, one of the Truths is, it is highly possible that this Hill will never burn. It is positioned beautifully in Defensible Space, road wise, community wise. But FIRE is a primal dragon. Primal. an Element.
"Sky" is so so incredibly Blue now...more than i have ever known it to be. And i want to turn, to turn to the NOW of things which means the Gardens, the still sleeping lizards, the singing frogs. and to the Cloth Making which is always waiting for me.
