So i went to the Old Folks Home.  Music Thursday again but i went because Ann, the Hospice Bath Lady was going to show me how she bathes Alz B . in the new drive through tub.  I like her a lot.  and she likes me.  So it was going to be a good thing.  But…her schedule changed and it was just Music Thursday.  But WHAT a music Thurs it was.   The ENERGY was HIGH and very fine and Alz. B. was wide eyed and smiling sometimes laughing and both her hands remembered how to clap and at one point she was putting her finger in her mouth and i said what are you DOING??? and she said ….."teeth"……and lo and behold,  the two front bottom teeth were gone.  Oh well, bye bye teeth and then Beth sang Bye Bye Blackbird and stuff was still all ok.  It was a great and very Fine Music Thursday

Sometimes i want to just fade away from all this stuff i do.  Alz. B.,  the Old Cowboy.  I would rather, sometimes, to be totally poor.  To have to count every single penny just for Freedom from that.  But then…it's not how it is.  I am for the duration, whatever that is.  Which is also all tangled in with feeding Goats.  So…i am left with just going.  Breathing.  and

being Breathed.

Being Breathed by some Entity that is so of Somewhere Else…today "she" looks like Hanuman, the Monkey God.  Michelle will love this…but i'll fix it….she's not Hanuman,  She is Her.  She is a

THING

that i am liking to call to.   I drive to here and there.  I haul bedding straw and Goat minerals,  i cook and feed myself.  I hang around with this new dog and this old dog and every now and then,  I call out:    BREATHE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   and it's good.  it's GOOD.

    Kantha, rippling energy of the breathe. She is very fine and for some reason, the kantha draws me to the background cloth, the soft madder, coral tones; they are of autumn coming and there is a warmth to this breathing woman that comforts.

    she was so strong before..now her power seems to be revealing itself..or of course you are revealing more ..the cloth is showing us even more..and for me ..all this week caught up in your pictures of arroyos and canyons..and my traveling in and out of slate and granite and intense green beginning to change here..the shape of her face echoes the edges of these forms.
    .so many earth forms and cloud fems and water forms( these might be the seemingness endless rain here and the patterns the water is eroding into the ground i am still trying to anchor…) ease into my mind and i am so delighted with this .
    from the cloth and your fingers into my head..
    .i am smiling as i move back into my day..so a gentle smile full day to you grace xox much
