nothing Special, today., here, at least.  Elsewhere in the World, so much.  but here,  nothing much, sort of.  this to show for it

 

IMG_7033f

a kind of lasagna.  squash,  eggplant,  goat cheese.   it's good.  but missing the Parmesan.  didn't have any.   and i thought about that.  how i think i need parmesan.

and i spent a good amount of time with the Goats.  i looked closely at them.  the quality of their coats, that are thickening already for the cold.  and thought about how amazing that is, that their bodies    KNOW  and begin changing for the times ahead.  

and then, there was an unexpected need to go check out Alz B.  did that.  she's ok.  

and more kantha.   there is a LOT more kantha yet to do.

But because, i think, it seemed so quite uhhhh,  quiet today, in comparison, ….i had good opportunity to watch my mind.  had good opportunity to watch when it leapt, raced into the

FUTURE

and i needed to call it back.  to notice how many times this happened,  seemingly of it's own accord.   but also knowing from today,  how peacefull it felt.  when i called it back to This Moment.  here.  Now.    and so.  a very very good day.

    Parmesan for the sharp and goat cheese for the mellow. that WOULD be good! And time for really looking, listening, and BEING right there…perfectly ordinary when you think on it…perfectly perfect.

    this is truly the amazing thing–the getting ahead of ourselves–the mind racing forward “seemingly on its own accord.” but in the recognition of this. perhaps that’s what is truly amazing–the recognition.

    at least for now, i feel like i’ve really had enough
    of my habit of imagining so far ahead. it’s taken a long
    time. i never have been particularly uhhh, fond of
    the Past. when it’s gone, it’s gone. it has done its
    work of creating a Present and that feels good enough.
    i like how it’s going right now…

    it’s critical. to Feel that, not just intellectualize
    it, that it’s not just words that work well when
    everything is ok. but to really recognize what it all is
    and have it hold when circumstance is ify. it’s worth
    finding.

    well, there’s a LOT of it. and truth is, i used store
    sauce, out of laziness. that’s always not a great idea.
    and i knew that but did it anyway. but it’s good and
    i’ll take half of it to the Old Cowbow and he’ll be
    happy.

    Everything here today – poetry and beauty – thank you for sharing and drawing in so many beautiful people. And give those goat darlings a hug for me – I still miss my little billy goat friend.
