seem to have become uhhh,  a little disconnected.   I drift….don't seem to be able to focus.

When i went back yesterday to look for the beginning of the god Thing cloth for Alyssia,  i also saw

i don't know where that curtain went.  But what caught my eye really is the single bloom in water

and here it is again,  a single bloom in water…which was our table decoration for the VISIT.  now, is pretty spent.  but still Beauty full.   But really,  the point is that it is almost to the day that i took that pic way back in 2011.  Thinking how we repeat things,  unaware,  unless we for whatever reason,  look.  But we repeat.    I guess early June is the single bloom in water month.  Hmmmm.  and i will look for that curtain.  I might have cut it up?   I hope not,  because it is gentle and loving,  the Energy of it…there in the somewhat harsh window.

 

and i invisible basted (Jude Hill~Spirit Cloth)  some of the things on the god Thing cloth,  but i also was wanting to begin a new one,  maybe another Love Letter ……. but Nothing.   Empty.  so i

well…woops…what happened here?… i'll fix it in a minute.  but, really,  in it's own way,  it's kind of right.  I just went through all the baskets,  picking up cloth,  looking, feeling,  putting back…and ended up with these colors (that i will fix in a minute) .  That's all.  just the colors.  Nothing else at all.  Not a glimmer.

    Sometimes after a gathering and going back to being one, a decompression is needed, a big exhale. It’s ok not to have a glimmer, you gravitated toward some cloths and that is fine; it will come, that glimmer, it always does…

    Will it? Right now, it feels like i will just go on forever putting different cloths on the back of the futon or the chair or in the window or…….or…..
    and that will be the extent of it. Just looking.

    YES it will…go outside, water your plant people. Talk to the goats, look at the sky. 87 miles way from you, no wind here, sky clear and it feels cooler, maybe a little thunderstorm tomorrow night. When you come back inside, get out a couple of garlic cloves, unpeeled, take a needle, poke the garlic cloves and put them on a long thread and then knot the thread. There, you are all set for tomorrow, Friday the 13th…

    I should have added, when you wake up tomorrow, place your garlic necklace around your neck and you are ready for whatever the day brings. It’s what I do every Friday the 13th !

    maybe that is what you need to be doing. maybe your next cloth will be based on a color wheel or maybe you are searching for a texture.
    i think your ‘looking’ is your next cloth whispering to you…

    Ha! Whirling in the what-to-do- place. My advice: Drop it. No worries. No necessity. No fretting. Let. Just LET IT BE> Lucky you to be able to see the full moon. Here a full cloud cover. So that’s what it is. It’s okay. Dream time.

    it is strange…even when expected, known, to feel the disconnect when such closeness has been experienced, enjoyed, valued…interesting the different ways drift can be felt..enjoyed, disliked, tolerated…
    so much rain here ..so very much wind..new goats..alpines to join the oberhasli..such good milkers… are coming sunday…but i am distract ed every green thing outside..grasses leaves..whole trees are being shaken and whipped around..the hills look like prairie grasses in the wind..and the cows..who are becoming so much a part of my days.(never a blip in my head..or on any wish list ..ever )…they are funny..the elements seem to matter so little to them in comparison to the horses they meet at the fence from the farm above..or the goats..at first i thought they were running because of bugs or a fright..but no..they do frolic…which is very joyful…and they have their favorite companions…and they can be sooo stoic..and they are so sweet..we appear and we are greeted..and it is the meadow that feeds them not us…there is no reward that comes with our presence..just nose scratches and words…
    i hope the stars and the goats and the warmth of your surroundings help..happy curtain hunting…who knows what you may find…gentle day cynthia
