this is how it's been and how it will be, even more for the next week.
on this day, a Wednesday, next week, the daughter, the goats, the livestock guardian dog, the father of the daughter, the brother of the daughter, will be half way to where they are going. which would be somewhere in Arizona. when traveling with a herd of goats, in August, particularly in the year of 2011, you can only travel during the night. so….in the dark, they will be going. just going…as we have talked about but in regard to cloth, not goats and people. Continuing.
many Things have been involved. the center of which has been that her truck just simply Would Not Run. out of the Blue. 2 weeks…it was towed down here to my local much trusted mechanic and i will put a plug for him here…Rudy's Auto Repair…Lemitar, New Mexico. and for many reasons, it took two weeks. during which all of us, including Rudy, experienced what i guess i will just call High Anxiety. it really wasn't anxiety was something else, but that's close enough. what was wrong with it was a great mystery and this is the truck she will need as in neeeeeeeed to drive to work and to haul feed for the goats when she arrives at her
new life
but the mystery was solved and today i met her half way (she's had my little Honda car, Minnow for the duration) at the TacoBell just off the freeway.
Good things have happened too. a wonderful woman who lives in Lake Havasu Arizona has offered an overnight for them all. this woman is the one who sold Jenny her first buck goat. this overnight is a god send. another good thing is that again, out of the Blue, a woman called me who is interested in a goat and heard i had some. well, sorta. but as it turns out, on Saturday, she will pick up Daffodil, the first doe goat who she plans to breed and milk PLUS the two wethers, DarkWing and Partly Sunny. the weight of the move lightens.
everything has changed. that Blue House didn't happen. the transfer to a full time job turned out to be a transfer to a part time job, no hours guaranteed. But, she is setting out. she and her daughter will rent a house in the middle of California for a year. during that year, the job will hopefully transform into full time and while it is transforming, she will look for a different Blue House up high in Northern California….Red Bluff. Cottonwood. Redding. this uh, interim is not going to be easy for the goats and the dog. they don't speak english and so can't be told that it is temporary. i do, speak english, and find it hard. but i took out the Daughter Cloth tonight from where it has been and patted it. it's a good, strong, solid cloth. i also listened again to the audio of Magic Diaries and thought about distortion. about the word distortion. wondering. and i also just sat and thought and thought about Jude saying something about thought catching and how tricky it is. and looked at this pile of cloth and an image reappeared that has come and gone for the last days of two lines of very small lizards going along, just going, one line above right to left, one line below left to right and i caught that thought about how stuff just goes. comes back. goes again in a never ending process of Continuing.
