210, i like that. twohundredandtendays

as it turns out,  i seem to have a ….cold.   i so rarely get Sick that it never occurs to me that when things are just Not Right,  it might be ….physical.????.  but…i seem to have a cold.  not much, really, just that Junky feeling?

so i am listening to crickets.  their Summer is Gone song…a looooong sustained single noted Trill.

with no breath.   constant.  non~stop.

and, this is for tomorrow.  all charged up for re doing the shelter in the buck pen that they carelessly whacked off, boards.   if it goes how i think it might,  this will happen early in the morning.  right after the milking.  

then,  i will make

Cheese.

this evening i talked to Heather, my son's chosen woman,  him her chosen man,  and baby Giana who we don't even know  yet is 2 days…late.   2 days late.  i smile.  she is IN there.  inside Heather.  experiencing things.  not yet Born.

how we continue to have some kind of Faith and continue to believe that we can bring a child into this world and how that Soul of a child continues to express Willingness to be born into this world

    Hmmm…..that long, continuous sound is intoxicating, the way it speaks of desire…a mating sound, and particularly compelling for that association when the Summer is fading…a kind of ‘last chance’ effort. This year, I got very involved in the different sounds (www.discoverlife.org/cricket/specieslist.html) What is the Difference Between Crickets, Katydids, and Cicadas? LOTS.
    Somehow, Waiting for the baby seems related…at a distance…and those thoughts…through most of my life I thought that we never asked to be born, that it was all the parents desire…till encountering the Vedas…where it is said that our desire brought us back, that we chose the womb, the place and time. Now, I’m not entirely in agreement with that literal an interpretation. Reincarnation is a complex construction. More philosophical than actual from my point of view. But to accept the literal is to become responsible for all of one’s life, and that’s a good reason to believe.
    May the morning find you well dear Grace

    I am glad the moodiness has lifted, although it has been replaced by a mild illness
    funny how the mind often tricks us and we are deluded into thinking rather than experiencing
    awaiting a new life, that is such a fundamental part of life and living, and I am always surprised by how much I am blown away by babies and there tiny, unspoilt bodies, their scent, their softness, their surrender to us…..
    210 days Grace, quite an achievement really

    i hope it’s today. an auspicious day. but then so is tomorrow…and when ever. and yes. the willingness feels as miraculous as birth itself. keep meaning to ask about the milking “posture” and love thinking about the cheese. today. good day for many things.

    210 days of images, thoughts, words, the whole of a specific life yet a life that is universal in connection. And now the precious waiting for the new baby girl, Giana, whose name is a melody. Waiting for a grandchild is such a gift, this special time, the joy unlike any other. As Giana gets ready to come into this world, her most special Grandmother waits with her goats, makes cheese and I’m sure thinks of the day when Giana comes here and of the listening, teaching, showing, sharing of the wonders of this place that will come in the years to follow…

    i AM in agreement with that. only because i see it to
    make sense., to explain things that can’t be explained
    in any other way.

    i like those words…
    their surrender to us
    which then becomes our surrender to them.
    it’s a lot of days.

    yes, I was thinking that same thought later on: how we in turn surrender ourselves to them;
    a lot of days of sharing with us!
