Hoping to stretch that Ease into this next week, it looks today like it might not be possible. Times like this, i often find it usefull to think of myself in Third Person. Tell myself a little story about…her.
Pretty much as soon as i arrived home from Work Away, phone, and was the Best Nurse Cindy who had gone to the ER , the Big Time ER in Albuquerque last week. She's been in the hospital there ever since. Was difficult to understand a lot of what she was saying, but i did understand the tears in her voice when she said I'd really like to see you. So….ok. Tomorrow. ok. and i went Out and sat in the middle of the driveway to take these pics. For a different Point of View. Ordinarily i take them looking Out. This, looking Back. And i sat a while, telling myself the story about this woman who lives here. About how pretty much every Sunday, she imagines how things might go for the week and how pretty much every week, it's different than she imagined. i sat with the Question….
Why IS that?
I thought about that last line of Salzberg's version of Metta. May you live with Ease. About why i like it so much, her choice of words. May you live with Ease. I thought about looking for Ease, Finding a sense of Ease even inside life events or circumstances that are uhhhh well, challenging, to one degree or another. How always INSIDE the challenge, there is a place where you can breathe through it. Always INSIDE there is a quiet corridor where you can walk through. So i did the meditation, both for myself and also for the Her that lives in that house.
May we be Safe. May we be Happy. May we be Healthy. May we live with ease. Simple things, really. So…to live with ease. To understand more about how i can Know what that means. I like it a lot.
And while i was at Work Away i thought about how i want to make one "Pretty" cloth. Just Pretty. For the Art Thing in Magdalena.
And at the grocery store… i hear grace? and turn….am not sure, but It's me, Robin from the Mustang Camp. YES! She looked all different, new haircut, grocery store uniform, not flannel shirt and levis, but YES!, Robin and do i still need help with Goats? YES! exchange of phone #.
so…who knows? It might happen, that Robin might be the one?
and look here. Such an incredibly great scrap. Lying on the floor over at the far end of the bookcase in the living room. It's like they somehow go around in the night a place themselves in such unlikely places so they are NOTICED. It's so beauty full. so Fine
