this morning when i got up it was 58 degrees.  A soft night,  a beauty FULL night,  and today, a softer day…some Wind…

And i should say.  There is no humidity.  There are no biting insects.  It is a completely benevolent Land.  Both day and night.  A person can move around in it,  in the dark even,  and it is benevolent and loving.

a perfect and incredible Moon,  a Deb Lacativa Moon.  If i had told her about this cloth,  if she had seen it in its going so far and if i had  asked her to make me a perfect Moon,  it would have been THIS Moon.  But as it was,  it was in the basket…waiting for the moment it is needed….and of course,  on her blog in the last day or so,  some floss she has dyed which is perfect AGAIN for this Moon.  I will wait for it to arrive.

How things go.

the warning has begun to appear,  under the Seemingly Innocent,  the actually Ignorantly Innocent

    There is such a gentleness to all of this, and the moon IS absolutely right.

    i know the story of the mated pair and the murder of the male, so i can not look at this cloth without thinking of it. It’s blood red down there in the crochet element, and black appears under neath. Better to think of soft air, sleeping with air moving and just a sheet, the silence of night in the desert.

    thinking more, these Wolves are family to me. They were just
    down the road, years of such Care taken in preparing them for
    Release. I’d like to take the Cloth, when it’s finished to the
    Sevielleta Refuge to give to them in acknowledging both their great
    love and committment and the lives of M 1130 and F1305 . Whether or not they
    think anything of it, it’s something i want to do.
    it’s a way to grieve.
