Equinox

Thunder Man speaks.   AGAIN.   Equinox and thunder.  how interesting.   With the continuing RAIN this year,  things are continuing to Grow at the same time as Seeding at the same time as Ripening at the same time as Rotting.

I went out and pushed the weeds aside and sat on the Raft.  Closed my eyes and listened to Thunder.  I sat with maybe Zillions of grasshoppers, all sizes,  seemingly mindlessly hopping nowhere and everywhere,  just hopping that Snap! hopping…in my face,  on my hair,  and Thunder rumbled, the temperature shifted,  Wind came up.  All this.  All this in one small Flash of Time.  

I feel that i am at some POINT of being able to understand things in a different way….if i can find the way to that.  And since it's all so Vague,  who knows.  But i feel like it's

Last Night…Sun stayed so STRONG to the last when being swallowed by the Rim.

i want to Can them.  But it's humid.  hot.  and the propane is low.  So…maybe freeze instead.  I prefer canning for the aesthetics.  jars beat freezer bags.

and Joan.

Joan @coppercreekers….gave  such a gift….the rendition of Over The Rainbow,  Isreal Kanakawiwo'ole  on her blog.  JOAN…THANK YOU.  bIG.  it was one of the songs that Elizabeth Louise McIntosh knew till the end and this particular version has been so loved by me….it Pulls me Apart….leaving all manner of spaces in me…THANK YOU,  tODAY was the perfect day to listen again.  Could not have been more perfect.  Perfect.

I understood again today how the body,   the physical entity that we are housed in,  the biological entity,….holds some kind of imprint of Necessity.   The example here,  being on Alert,  ready for 911 call from the Old Folks Home,  and really,  from the medical alert even in the years before.  How my Body,  Nervous System,  had kept Ready.  How i checked the number of bars on the cell phone daily to be sure to receive.  How i was on alert in case i was needed.  

That's Over today.  But i realized that there is a residual cellular energy still present and that it will take a while to lessen.   Similar to when it was finally over with the Maniac i was married to….that took years, really.  This,  less.  Because i recognize it.

    That first photo like a dark night of the soul, and the next like how it just keeps going–binding life to every surface, while the last is a feast for what ever lives and hungers. At writing group earlier I noticed that all of them who knew Amaranth, the woman who just died of her cancer, and who I was very close with, are treating me as though something’s changed..or so it seems to me. I may not have let go yet (your residual cellular memory got me thinking). All the way home I thought ‘grief has stages’ but didn’t try to figure out which stage I’m in….just grateful to be aware of it. This post confirms my awareness.

    Sun was VERY strong yesterday, late. my husband said it was a color he had never seen, it wouldn’t be photo’ed either, it was just….just….he was at a loss for words…maybe equinox was playing with the sun.

    sometimes i think about parallel universes. orbs in close proximity, touching at just one point–like two balls that might kiss. and that place, that kissing place, would look like this first picture–and the sun is that place where we could pass through…into another world. maybe that’s what it was for you? the awareness of other ways. a portal really, for moving from the old into the new.
    an opening. an opportunity to shift and realign cellular programming. i’ll be holding this image for a long time. visual reminders work the best for me. i forget words so easily. but not images, especially when, like this one, it seems etched permanently somewhere…over…the…rainbow.

    grace’s photo of the night and the last slice of the sun is powerful. Equally powerful are your words here Patricia. Powerful and moving because you bring to light what is felt but perhaps not easily articulated, what is glimpsed in those random moments of knowing and wondering. Words imprint on me as much as images and your words are gatekeepers that move me along my life passage and I thank you so much for putting them here.

    Yvette….being woken in the middle of my deep sleep and getting up
    and going and sitting with her, all that
    i was spent.
    like spent…emptied in a soft and well soft way
    and he said lets walk, i thought, No…i can’t…but i knew i
    needed to. and off and on i felt off balance, Dim of energy,
    but we kept walking.
    It was important, this Just Going when you think there is nothing
    in you that can, but somehow you do and it’s important.
    I know you know this, LOVE LOVE and i wish Tay could feel the
    Touch of your hand
