sitting here, talking on phone to the young woman who is my son's partner, all the while, staring at the cloth. talking.
how things are layers upon layers upon layers

It is wonderful to be able to look and see …..and to see beyond, to see through whatever is in front of you…. Your cloth must have brought visions of other “worlds” to your conversation….
Cloth is company! Love, e.LikeLike

Hi Grace, sitting in the dark looking at your layers–I’m looking at your layers too. The “daring” cloth arrived this afternoon, along with the backyard vision and the most intoxicating aroma permeated my senses when I opened the tube…..I’ve taken some snapshots and you should look for them in an email soon. meanwhile, just know that the event changed my day from gray to green.

Yvette…your thoughts are so intuitively correct…
Unpredictable with Unknown Outcome

and here in my neighborhood, when someone says love you,
the traditional response is
love you moreLikeLike

I was here and looking at the layers and the darkness settled upon them and thought of the talking on the phone…I come from a phone talking tribe. And I thought how one can talk and talk and talk and Look at the same time and wondered if sometimes things may Look different in that split attention, room darkened place and if maybe ideas could spring forth, because you are not looking for ideas, you are in the midst of a human relationship of talking. Life is Layers…every aspect ~ layer upon layer.
With my son it was love you- love you more – love you the most – love you infinity (at which point we’d both be saying ‘infinity’ many times, trying to say it faster and more times than the other – as if in a race to prove there was no end to the amount we each loved the other)! Fond memory. If I said it today (he’s grown now)- he’d still play the game with me! Precious expressions.
I know two other families that have their special love words & ways too 🙂 I love hearing different traditions.
Lastly,
“patchouli” Mmmmmm…so good! I have a patchouli candle & incense…love it!LikeLike

it does look like that doesn’t it…it surprised me when i took the pic off the camera…i’d not imagined it would
look so brown…it was the light or lack of, the angle
that i wanted to see………
i’ve been sitting in my Morning Chair/Meditation Chair
and using the ironing board as a sewing table lately,
because the Table is covered with a pile of scraps. so.
and fertile. Fertile is an interesting concept in the
desert.
AND i remember sometimes in the middle of the night that you asked the other day somewhere about the Wine Tail…
it’s there. i left it. it has its own particular qualityLikeLike

this is very nice…” if things look different in that
split attention….ideas spring forth because you are not looking for ideas”
Yes…very much, i think.
i am NOT a phone person, i get really restless. but i
don’t talk to her often and she answered and it was
really nice.
i am wondering if the goats would like patchouli or not?
they are so into scent…
i don’t know…
DO know it is offensive to manyLikeLike
-
I did not know goats are into scent! I am very sensory sensitive, scents included and I like it, but I think because I have memories associated. Can goats link memories to scents, tastes, places etc. Mmmm…?

it’s hard to know, but i would like to.
they are VERY sensory in ways i don’t even know. they
get ALL happy when daughter comes…from her voice, her
smell.
and for sure, they will remember Julian by his scent.
his favorite goat is Barbara and i’m looking forward to
watching that reunion. they also will like him because
of his size both physical and his child size aura.LikeLike

he is also interesting in that he has no need to HOLD
things. he loved his toads at his old house where he
lived with his mom and his Nana, my daughter. but he
just liked to go out in the evening or in the night and
see what they were doing. there was never any interest
on his part to pick them up. and spiders. he just liked
to watch them. find them. see what they were doing.
i am really looking forward to him. he will teach me
many things.LikeLike

Hi Grace,
Patchouli is a scent which I associate with my kimonos…my “kimono-master”/ my teacher perfumed all kimonos with patchouli…I don’t like it as a perfume on my skin – but the scent in itself is wonderful!
Have a great weekend with your creative bunch of “youngsters”

and I just love the way you talk about your greatgrandson, how he doesn’t always have to hold the animals he likes watching, just lookingLikeLike
