Uyghur Holy Sites 2002 - 2011 the Holy Sites and the people who care for them
i have spent a large part of this Rainy day watching and re watching. Why i watch continues to elude me. What is it i find in Uyghur that i am sure can
help me
in my days. The sense that i am somehow Related to what i am seeing. to not necessarily this Place on this Planet, but this Experience of living?, of expressing this experience of living? of ......................... of....................................a Way to be with being alive, for the short time that we Are? i honestly don't know at all and i also can't stop looking.
When i first came aware of the Uyghur , and subsequently got the book, i was in New Mex. It was when i was living uhhh, in the world but not of it....take that out of the Christian context......my children were distant. My life was minimally webbed with Other. I went into the world a couple days a week and then retreated to Solitary. Where i built that raft altar. before seeing the book, and being startled, seeing the photographs in the book at how Kin my raft was. And then, 4 years ago...months more, 4 some months ago, things changed. Changed with the conception of Emrie, of her confusing beginning in utero, my Love of Alyssia and i am Here now. I am in the world and i am of it. But there's a Way, i am sure, to understand what i need to understand. and these markers in the desert of the Uyghur speak of that. of Earth. of Sky. of the most basic and simple "components" to Mark Connection, to Mark the way, the Path through with the making by
hand
from what might be said is Nothing. but really, is Everything.
