i'd loaded this pic early this morning, 6 something because again, Internet is ify. I'd imagined some things i might say. It's Jenny's favorite vine that climbs from the base of the Scrub Oak at B. and here.....here....we see.....2 blossoms this year.
and it is/was Trust Time at 7oclock. so i sat quietly waiting . 7 Oclock. the 5 minutes turned out to be 24.
at the end, i took up the pen and wrote on the stenographer's pad...Trust.
Trust. That i will have what it takes to love well.
What did that mean?, to love well? and without thought, i wrote
to Trust.
so it began and circled around. And i went into the day which was kinder, heat wise but i had so little battery power because of circumstance and i'd miscalculated and was out of dog food and had to go take care of that and then late afternoon that horrible BLEATing sound from the phone which only had 27% left....FIRE. It was 6 miles away and i called Jenny who had just gotten off from work to be sure she was aware. Alyssia was on the road, back from a medical appointment in Sacramento. Jenny called back. Could i get the Goats into their Evac Spaces? that she and her man were on their way.? Yes and i did. it took 28 minutes and then i began gathering Stuff to put in the vehicle. whose name now is Friend. to put in Friend. and the reality is that it wasn't much. I don't have any energy left to talk about it. But it wasn't much at all. I piled it on the bed. Surprised.
but it was the best i could do.
But all the while i thought about Trust. and what i know it is is that i Trust that we will do the best we can. I Trust too, in all of you, in US , who i have somehow managed to come to know....that You All too, do the best you can. That the Whole of Us do the best we can and I Trust in that.
