This is pretty much just a Journal Page.  Wanting to Mark the day.  Wanting to leave a Mark of sorts of this day in October, 2014.   so i might know,  at some time still coming.  And to say that i don't know anything at all about any of this.  That it still is coming and i don't know.  Don't know.

I first "met"  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharshi somewhere around 1988 or 89 give or take.  Maybe a few years before?   Maybe Some years before.  but i'll say 1988.  Good enough to indicate a While back.   I tried to understand then,  but i couldn't,  but i knew the words were True.  Now and then,  when the granddaughter has come i've watched her visually "cruise" the book shelf and ask about "that blue book".  I Am That.  I always said…do you want to take it?  She says no, not now.  

And here we are today,  me and her and Mooji whose lineage is this.  so, ok.

So i spent this day going about and doing and making the point to keep in the Moment.  When thoughts would try to attach to the Moment i would let them drop away.  Just the Moment.  Just This.  Tay, the Goats and I did this.  We just had a day.  We got a LOT done.  We worked OutSide, we went back and forth through the Migrational Coridor,  we pulled the sticky seed grasses,  moved the cement blocks,  cleaned the Albatros,  Looked at Cloth,  ate,  admired the DAY which was just so Grand,  all the while,  I let the sense of ME just float off and disappear.  The Goats and Tay don't have that so they were just what they are and i joined them in that…in that clear sense of this day as it unfolded,  no past  no future just each minute into each minute.  And i realized that i have been going along,  Just going, along all this time and it's good and Very Very OK.

Alz B's son Bill had brought a broken basket,  knowing my fondness for Wabi Sabi .  This morning i find it totally disassembled by Tay.   But this bottom.  This Center remained so i tied it and  put it on the wall.

    that cloth is something. this whole post is something. encouraging and uplifting–exciting even…because it speaks to the fruits of your life. how where you’ve been has led you to where you are. the inner evolution. i could use so many hackneyed phrases here, but essentially i’m excited because i see intent manifesting into reality. i’m seeing this manifest in your world, and it’s happening here as well. and i wonder, could this be happening on a global level? i think perhaps yes.

    Just so happy to find myself here with you and them there in this moment. it’s been a day for me too…a poet friend took me to a French place for lunch treat and the squash soup was fine. We visited two exhibitions at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park (Gramarcy? I’ve lived here many decades and still get the spelling wrong. Stubborn I think)…let it go…all of it. The Poet is giving away all his stuff and about to embark on a year abroad starting with Berlin…a life changer. He quit his job and the soul destroying hatefullness that can be in some cases….and, well…..off he goes at the end of the month. I have no ‘job’ other than just going….Ha-can you see the advertisement that might be devised to hire for a position in THAT ‘profession’? “Wanted: One conscious being able to BE in the moment wanted for permanent full time position. No previous experience necessary.” ((((love the cloth looking))))

    There is a sweet joy in this backtracking, returning, just going that has come full circle with Alyssia; a generational journey.
    I’ve been looking at this cloth, the new addition of the delicate eyelet piece underneath the rough compost cloth…lost in what to say because the first impression was a jolt; I saw self and my mother but I’m not prepared to go deeper with this…suffice it to say that I am not the eyelet cloth!

    And I think it has something to do with the eyes as well: you have this extraordinary gift grace to draw eyes and faces that bring memory to me; these deep set eyes are my mother’s eyes much like a face you drew a while ago was my curandera grandmother’s face…
