the last of the CatHairScraps………fluttering on an extremely Beauty Full warm soft Wind.  And to all who are bowed down with Cold and Storm,   i will hold this for you,  as i hold You All in my heart during these days.   Cynthia, in particular,  where it is very Severe.

still there from when the kids played restaurant.  But somehow,  the castle tower got in there????

while i was separating and finger pressing the scraps on the kitchen counter,  these went together.  I have NO idea,  but something about them.  And i am really liking using the Hoop for looking,  for just Looking,  pinning,  unpinning,  looking.  It's big,  but not so big that i can't  put it on my lap in those early before daybreak hours

this one off the hoop cloth.  Ready to baste.

there is a SunSet i just saw.  will be back in a minute with that.

and i am putting this Out.  I am saying it OutLoud  into the Cosmos.   When i was waiting for the Old Cowboy's Green Chili Cheese Burger the other day,  my old neighbor Charlotte came in.  We talked.  She still owns the piece of property adjoining me, extending to the corner.  She lived there when her kids were little,  now lives on her family's land in Magdalena.  She was telling me that someone had inquired about buying it.  and,  unlike in the past,  she considered it.

So i am saying here…..it is my Intention to be able to buy that acre.  Not necessarily to do anthing WITH,  but to not be required to do anything i can't do here.  Or,  can't do without a lot of heartache.  The buck goats are over on that end.  This very easily could be an issue to new owners.  I'm not ready for that,  ready for what that could entail.   And even though i might just let that piece of earth Be,  anyone who comes here after me could easily use it for horses.  It's big enough and including this place,  would work.   So,  i say this.  Out Loud.  However it can,  i would like this to happen.

    do you know how much it would cost?

    no. when i bought this piece of Earth it was $10,000. It included a septic,
    water lines and electricity. So i am assuming that’s what Charlotte paid
    also. The septic there has crashed. would need to be redone. There is also
    a trashed trailer on the property that would need to be removed and who knows
    about that. There are salvage companies that do that. But that all was
    20 years ago. There is the reality of the Hood. Anyone with any kind of money
    would not want to live here. It’s Rough. So factor that in.
    So i don’t know. but i am looking at it with a direct stare.
    I am on the farthest South end of this developed piece of Earth. Surrounded by chili fields/alfalfa fields and a horse pasture. So “my” end is good. it’s
    North of here that’s Ify.
    I will call the school system in Magdalena on Tuesday and leave word for her to contact me. I will tell her to please be patient. She likes me a lot. She doesn’t NEED the money. But she might Like it. So, we’ll see how it might go. Who knows?
    Just sending out the Intention.

    It IS good to say it out loud….saying it out loud…..yes it is very good. Sounds like a win win for both of you. Sounds like it was meant for you to stop for that green chili cheeseburger…time will tell. Beautifully AMAZING sunset!!

    That intention is significant…I know you would be okay without it but the acre could be a life changer. Aside from more room, the lack of worrisome neighbors might be crucial to the comfort of your establishment. When you do reach her, if she is at all amenable, maybe suggest you buy a portion if the price of the whole acre is too steep to think about…that might make just enough of a barrier with a line of some sturdy native at the far end to mark the new boundary. i want what you want for yourself. Can’t wait to hear more.
    The sunset is outrageous–the line of cloths in the warm breeze so visible in their movement, comforting.

    funny to think of your gentle winds..soft and warm..to know the feel of them..while it is so different here..it is -24.5..that is not the wind chill..that is the temperature and it is..well bone chilling bone achingly cold…..but such warmth comes with your intention..and i imagine the discovery of a new space through your eyes, through your visions..because of course even if you let it Be your stewardship would let it blossom in new ways..it would be such a gift to walk it with you..
    gently held and offered up by so many ..laughing at my self as i do know to let it go..this offering up to the universe..and yet aware that on some level i am simply holding my breath.

    One way to look at the many softly colored cat hair scraps softly blowing in yesterday’s wind would be to think of them as flags of intention, sending out land whispers…

    O! i had walked away from this screen and when i came back, this question is here and it surprised me.
    so i’ll just answer off the top of my head….Why…..????
    I don’t know. Will continue thinking about it and thank you for
    the asking….it fills out the Intention, doesn’t it…
    MAYBE, maybe because all my life i have, i think, lived in
    response to things OUTSIDE of me….Making choices in Response.
    This, maybe is choosing to CONTINUE with something already in
    Motion…maybe something that has threads going back a long way.
    Maybe it feels like Finishing something…or staying WITH something as in having become committed to it…? Maybe because if it does occur, i will then need to see the consequence of CHOICE. rather
    than an Oh, well or Whatever. A CHOICE. a Commitment. and part
    of what all that would be, is that this is a particular Part of
    a lifetime…remember i am on the brink of OLD
    so this would be stating that i would CHOOSE to spend these final years committed to this…. committed to this Here. committed to what i am Doing. Maybe it’s like marrying my life…….

    thank you for the fullness of this. as someone who also ‘reacts’ (and also has a hard time asserting need), I totally understand this… and really appreciate the poetry of it too (“marrying my life”!!!)… it really fits with your thoughts about ‘turning outward’ but also ‘not being so literal’…. The way I see it, a dream to extend the landscape is literal/transactional/material, but the mapping of intention to make that so takes places in another realm altogether… the energetic.

    grace, this is kind of a long quote from Goethe but here goes-
    ” Concerning all acts of initiative ( & creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas & splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself , then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforseen incidents & meetings & material assistance which no ( human) could have dreamed would come her way.”
