the day began innocently enough and with something i've never seen before. the Giant Sage is filled with mating ladybugs… and i took that to be Auspicious. and then, i Waited.
i'm not good at waiting. waiting can mean that you have time to do various things until something happens. but for me, it's a kind of edgy thing. i find it hard to focus on anything but the thing that is being waited for. i got an email that they were planning to be at the first destination at noon. which would have brought them here, most likely no later than 2:00. Well, waiting took till 5pm. and trying to improve myself, i stitched. and maybe because of the waiting, maybe because of all the Not Knowing, i stitched things that just seem to come from somewhere or nowhere…i stitched vibrations. what?, yes, vibrations. and then, they got here. in the middle of the most amazing storm…lightning, Thunder, WIND and all from the East which never happens in the summer but was and through half of it there was a Rainbow, glowing glowing glowing and it took us two and a half hours to load Buckwheat . He was crazy and wild and had no idea what we wanted him to do and we had barracaded that whole end of the place with wood and fencing and wood and fencing and wood and fencing and left only the tail gate of their truck open with a pen in it, next to the new doe Marina who was calling him and he wanted to go there, but it seemed so Ify to him that he couldn't and he whirled and spun and ran and then would stop and let me feed him peanuts in the shell and his appetite was undaunted, but he, oh he….did not know what he really should DO….
and this doesn't really tell it all. it was Intense. but in the end, he was in the pen in the truck, muttering things to an entirely NEW DOE who will be his very own and although captured, not unhappy at all.
and Julie, yes. i will miss him.
i will miss him in a very particular, very certain kind of way. i am marked forever by him.
and by the time it was all said and done, i had to take this pic with the Flash. it's not True to color, but both of these, still, are very interesting….
and it's late now. the WEATHER is still happening. Still THUNDER, still WIND, still STORM. so i am going to go lay down. Sleep. if we are all still here in the morning, we will Just Go.
