i have a guest.   Firewood.  this one.  in particular,  i loved the shape, the color.  so i sat it on the little chair that i put across from the Morning Chair.  so i could look upon it and maybe see it uhhhh,  more?  maybe truly appreciate.  the firewood.  i haven't lit the first fire yet.  any day now though.  

i wasn't a day better.  was just kind of the same as yesterday,  but i didn't jump forward from that.  and it was a disappointment.  but half way through the day, i kind of surrendered to it.   found self looking longer at things than i ordinarily might.  really considering them.

and then i got 3 emails this week from women who read here but for whatever reasons of their own don't comment here.  i loved them.   the emails and the women.  they are Far Away.  they weren't long or complicated,  just Good.  saying:  this is who i am and i see who you are.  hello.  and i just

really really love that a lot.  and it has changed the tone of the days for me.  thinking of myself 

here

and them,  Far Away,

but sharing some Light that is familiar to all of us.  it's very tender.  and also is helping me look closely here, as along as it seems that Looking is pretty much all i can do for a few days anyway.

    hat an interesting piece of wood. What wise surrender, and how good when others reach from afar in that visceral way snail mail does. May all be well with you soon enough.

    it’s amazing how much we take for granted. health and energy are the big ones.
    we just go about our days like they are going to continue forever. one little set back and it all goes awry.
    enjoy the stillness and take care of yourself so you will recover quickly.

    Have not been here for a while……..so sorry i was not here as you had flu. Would have loved cooking miserysoup for you. Learned that from a friends mother who always cooked this as someone was sick, for a fast recovery.

    Oh dear Grace, the name in dutch is ellendesoep.
    Comes from people who came to holland from indonesia long ago.
    If someone is sick and needs to gain strenght again you cook chickensoup for them with vegetables and spices. Translation took me a while but i put it on my blog for you and hope it wil heal.
    As a vegan i dont eat it myself but think its perfect for people who have been sick and need strengt again.
    Get healthy and strong again………love
