and SUN came back for a while,  just so much,  behind cloud cover but There and i put the Cloth on the curtain.  Light.  Illumination.  How Light adds to the story.

I went Out to spend some time with the Bucks,  that being the only intention,  but after that i thought i'd see what the compost is doing

and then i sat for a while.  Just looking.  Thinking about the Mother Pile.  Thinking about if i really needed to flatten Her.   Do I?   Just sitting there,  with no interference,  that pile is slowly sinking into itself,   the home for Who knows.    I know that last summer,  lizards ran in and out.  Small birds were constant.   Maybe i don't need to do Anything at all?   There are so many things that factor in.  And maybe i don't know even Part of them so far.  So i just sat and looked.  Sitting and Looking is very Good.   is  Important.  So i sat and looked.

Tonight.  Sun was strong enough to come through.  Good.  Tomorrow is February.  The month of Who Knows.   so…ok.

    oh your lovely wood stacks
    i find myself wanting to weave some vine or even some wool through it
    as i have very similar piles
    one pile that i have made is quite like a bramble and i have noticed how many creatures call it home.
    this fills me with love and joy.
    watching, looking , sooo very much to love in this dakini canyon.
    love your art work with the light illuminating it

    So much to see…..so much to do. I can totally see how one thing would lead to another. It is amazing to me the amount of things you are able to start and finish with each new day. Grace you fill me with gratitude for showing me what is possible! Oh yes….

    What I love … light through cloth, piles of sticks, the creative energy of compost, and sitting in the sun most of all. What a perfect day you had.

    these are the branches i dragged here thinking i would give them
    to the Goats who didn’t end up wanting them…elm…? And that
    sat at the outside of the Way Back fence so long until Good
    Young Man Owen brought them in for me around this time last
    year and then they sat until the hugulkulture energy rose. I’ll
    look more. Woke this morning to the “information” that really,
    i could make a big round hugulkulture of the mother pile, would
    be great for squash
    but then there is that fact of the Pile being really, a Place
    for small beings and since Tay is changing much in that Oasis
    out there, maybe it just needs to stay as is? It’s something
    i am Enjoying thinking over. < that, a gift from the Rock.

    The sense of big sky in your cloth just gets stronger and stronger to me. I feel swept up into it…swirling celestial energy. On the other hand, you seem to be settling more deeply and happily into the earth as you watch your compost and care for your land and animals. Clearly you are holding both earth and sky in yourself, lightly.

    once, after passing another area of clear cut, my husband told me that the piles of brush [that i called burn piles] are actually piled up by man for the creatures that remain in the area. he did just that when a teen working for the forest service.
    now i imagine all sorts of things happening in those huge piles of branches and brush!

    Tina…if you look at your own life you will probably see so Much,
    too, just different, but So Much….
    this is the Thing,
    i am thinking,
    how we all have so much. Different kinds of So Much, but how
    we all mirror one another in the doing of it…

    vicky…THANK YOU!!!!…Thank Your Man for telling this. I saw
    clear cut when i was in Oregon and it broke my heart. This
    softens that memory. Tell him Thank You.
    Did they LEAVE the piles? Did anyone watch what came of them?
