but let's look at this first. i got a squash at the store…it's from Mexico, i didn't note it's name but to see that i'd never seen it before. tomorrow, i'll look and write it down. it's skin is beautiful and these, well…the color of all that cloth Deb Lacativa created, the cloths of the Tibetans. the Dalai Lama's birthday is this coming Saturday
drying to plant in a few weeks.
i worked. so, just pinned, but …. YES!
and now…Goats. and How Goats Teach Letting Go. Somehow.
Yesterday, the young woman Vet Tech did come. she was here quite a while. we sat in the pen with the babies a long time with them and their mothers coming and going. She is going to take 2. She is not sure which yet. She is pregnant. i love pregnant women. they have a slow quiet deliberateness to them. She has that. as she watched, she commented on each of them and it was nice to listen to her. and it was good to see her delight in them, after seeing them the day they were dehorned. She is from and married to a ranch family. they do horses. rodeo. her step daughter is competing for Queen of the rodeo at the State Fair this year. an auspicious home. they grow all their own feed for their livestock. She has a friend who is also interested in these goats, maybe tho, one of the 2 does i am looking to sell. while we sat, she would text her friend, send pics of what we were watching. She promised that when she has the goats, she will talk about them a lot. Tell people of these Goats here. Perfect.
and then…did i already say this? i don't know, but will say it here, again, maybe. On July 8th, the first new moon after Solstice, a woman and her daughter from Las Cruces, down by the border with Mexico will come for Buckwheat. He will be her herd sire. His horns do not put her off. She began with goats 40 some years ago with Saanens in Georgia. many of her herd were polled but the rest had horns. and her interest now is Home dairy. She wants to milk for her extended household. make Cheese. has no interest in Show Goats. just GOOD household herd. Perfect again.
and THEN!!!!, TODAY!!!! a phone message from a man, Jacob. and what a surprise THIS is… he saw the flier i put up at the grocery store. He has PACK goats. he and his sons take them into the desert, into the mountains. he has two. he had 3, but something happened to the third. and he said the other two have not been the same since. his goats are generic goats but he called because he was interested in a smaller goat, and maybe an easier tempered goat than say a Nubian. this goat will not pack. but will simply round out his herd as a companion to them. his goats live in his yard with he and his sons, their chickens, dogs. "We are all together", he said. So…he is coming to look. and we will talk about a little wether. How so great would That Be???!!!!! Treking with pack goats that use no tether, just Go along with the man, his boys, his dogs. sleeping where they get to. The pictures in my mind are spinning out.
and you know, i wish i had enough time to sit and think it all through, but i dont so i just write what ever comes out of me here as it comes. but im thinking that it is to do with the recent sense of needing to align to that Higher Order and then trust the goodness of that intention and just go from there. again…no imagined or needed outcome.
Letting it.
and maybe too about not being afraid of making mistakes with them. and somehow, just
Opening
to it all, they are magnitizing good things to themselves. they will Just Go too. and it will all Unfold.
