I'll be thinking about this for a while now.  

I know i don't have too much.   Do i have more than enough?, or Just enough.  I have no Need.

Tay likes to press her face into things that she likes.  Me,  other things.  She wanted very much to press her face into Maria's Cloths.   I told her No.

and as it is with her,  her Question is WHY?   She never just takes No for an answer

Like, really.  Why Not,  she asks

and then it goes further…her question of Why Not?,    until it gets to the point of me thinking,  well, i don't know….and so she presses her face.

so SLOW in coming, but i think today it came.  Roots.  Roots.  ok.

    Well of course Tay would want to press her face into Maria’s cloths, maybe she catches a whiff of what grew in Maria’s garden that transferred itself to her cloths…maybe she likes the array of colored cloth all spread out…OR simply, maybe she finds comfort in their soft abundance AS do I, to see them.
    Roots cloth, huge sigh because the colors hold the season and the diamond eye which I think of as the seed of it all, holds me…

    She does. she spends a lot of time off and on, just smelling the box which is still on the end table. She pushes her nose against it and deeply inhales and then breaths out. She likes the box a lot. But then she also wants to “know” the Cloths. In her world.
    Roots. yes. Roots are what want to be in this cloth….

    Who could blame Tay for looking … a couple of those cloths look like stand-ins for her coat.

    Billy Dog does this, too…takes a deep faceful and then exhales only when he’s taken it all in. I might try this.

    it’s light…the weight of her paw….but it’s also
    insistent. She is very Sure of Herself, of what’s Fair.

    it’s really an amazing phenomenon to watch. It IS. a deep faceful.
    Pressing one’s whole Face INTO. Maybe it is a very WISE thing to
    do. I will try it too.
