i would have imagined that the last summer season of so many 100+ days might have had an affect on the forest. In just these couple weeks of Rain Season, Lichen and Moss seem somehow...energized? This is an Oak that is just along the road Up near the entry to the Doe Forest. It's alive and all leafed in upper branches. But even more green than it appears here. In the morning Sun when i go there to feed Jack Flash and Nogal, it is a VIBRANT green, the two communities intermingled. I'll try for a close up in next few days. The next 2 are forcast Rain.
i looked. the old Blogspot pages are Still There!...as in still floating , in tact. From beginning, April 2010. So that makes the blogging going on 13 years! huh.
in the beginning it was intermittant but i was all so crazy happy with Spirit Cloth...Everything was NEW Everything i
made
was New. Never before.
somewhere along the line i decided to post everyday, to underline for my Self, really, that Every Day there is something to celebrate. and this continues to be true. And over time, i kept posting every day because i felt that if it was intermittant, it could easily fall away. and that is possible. Lately with the repetition of the making being only the Spirals, how this will continue at least until all of them are finished, which means for both Jenny's and Alyssia's, 50 of them and then their becoming 2 Blankets.... that's a lot of repeating. But it's what my Making IS now and needs to be. and too i find that i have fallen into a kind of laziness with words...minimizing how i Tell of things that are extremely important to me. ??? Why?. maybe just that fact that over these years i have become accustomed to the tap it out on the phone thing? no, that's too easy...maybe because i have become more and more drawn in by things that allude simple explanation and yet not willing to take the time to truly TELL? ...make the effort?.....TRY to Tell? Because it might not make sense to anyone but me? ???
the above...what i wrote as Last Thought. it directly correlates with something in Ways of Being. "the Richardson effect"... So much of that book, of what James Bridle presents as story into story out of story into story is
what i have been thinking about....but he goes so DEEP and with so much story of How Things Came To Be, How Things continue to Come to Be More, all the knowing that i don't have and can never hope to. Maybe if i can somehow find a path that way?
I have completed the 77th year.
what that means to me is actually turning out to be impossible to say. But it's all the above and then more. But it's
done.
time ahead now, different. I can travel lighter, go deeper. Stay longer. Not stay at all.
the words in that sentence above....came spontaneously....16 words....adding up to 7. and i smile. Of course they would.
