this began as they do. No forethought. Just pencil to paper. I was though, disappointed to see it was going to be a figure. Would have rather a plant. But you just go. This was late yesterday. I woke this morning to More and then had to leave to do laundry at Alyssia's. But before i left i added some and looking tonight , look forward to tomorrow. it has a lot to tell me. I have been patient. am ready.
a wisp of hay, like lipstick
I like to imagine plants dreaming into their seeds. How Care Full y she arranged her leaves the Yarrow attends
this is the Malibar that self planted. Beginning to flower and hopefully then seed. Is here because i emptied the grow bag and landscape pot into this tomatoe bed in the spring. Seeds had fallen.
The entire life purpose of plants is to make Seed? Is this true? I think so. To continue. I wish this to be true with this Malibar. It would become a staple FOOD. That Likes to Grow here. Emrie could feed her children.
toward the end of the 77th year. I have gotten lost this year. I don't know if i will be found, i don't know what found means. It remains to be seen. There have been many things, and continuing, the Fertile Void. Tay died and Minnow has come. It bothers me deeply when i don't say the truth, speak it Out Loud. My heart is broken for this country, for the peoples of this land. We are broken.
i want to find things to carry me from day to day. to believe in. to form Hope in. In the meantime, i believe in this Hill. I vow to remember how to make oh so thin flour tortillas, enough so they fly off my bread board for All of Us. This i can do.
otherwise, maybe i'll remain lost with no plan. Floating along this slow river where any day can be any way? What about that?
this was the first pomegranate, much before the 5 others that still remain on the branches. That Rain....this happened. This will be Her 6th year. There is only little fruit flesh, but it is SWEET . we'll leave the 5 for another month or more. Things take time.
Last night, SomeThing came. To Puppy's food bowl on that table outside. I thought it was her...maybe 2:30 or so...but Minnow lurched toward the door , her body rigid I let her out and there was a squirmish and growling, snarling i can't identify. Something medium sizeed. and she chased it off down into the Doe Forest.
third night in a row....They are camped out Up here, just by the house, in front of Sunny Ray's forest fence. All these years, unless it's raining, they have gathered for the night on that turn in the curve down in front of Jack Flash's yard.
i have no clue why this might be. ??? I also have no idea how they arrive at concensus. it's suddenly just how it is.
the white line is the water pipe.

this morning, first thing, it was ALL there, in my mind, what i wanted to say. What a surprise, tonight....there is a blank. like, Blank. I have no idea what all of it was this morning. ????
but it's something about being Honest. Totally honest. and that is related to what rose up at the Gathering at the Well yesterday, when i felt what it was to be totally honest. There is a freedom, a clear clean Space to breathe in
i don't cut flowers to bring in. somehow i can't. Yesterday i did, for this Table Setting (Dana) and the ONE single Kuri Squash B Garden grew.
Jenny arrived at about 5:30 and it was still very overcast, the only day like an island day in the week before and the week to come of
Rain
Alyssia had just arrived. We set to it. The crab, potatoes, corn on the cob were in plastic bags...we spread them out and ate. ATE. like racoons down at the creek. Off and on there was a sprinkle of rain drops and it became dark around 7. No talk about what this was all about. We just did it.
