Today is the Dalai Lama's Birthday. He teaches Compassion.
this is a piece of Deb Lacativa's cloth. It is Utterly Grand.
the colors and the power and the Energy and the Life of this Cloth, as it is, is somewhere between the first photograph and these two…it is difficult to capture really what it IS…
Which is just stunning.
and so
Compassion. Which maybe is a sister of Mercy. Thinking.
I went yesterday. But no one was home but an outside pit bull and an inside one at a window. On my way to work in San Antonio this morning, driving by that little piece of land at the turn where he had put a trailer home some years ago, maybe 4 or something, he was Outside. So i skidded in. Introduced myself and just went. Told him i needed some kind of back up plan. For storms. And that i'd noticed that he was pretty much around. And just asked. Would he be ok with me having a phone number for in case. For in case of that kind of Storm and having no one home to help. Would he be ok with that? And he said
"i'm not a carpenter" i said ok.
"i can't do a lot." i said ok.
I said if you can push against a fence panel. If you can hold up one end of a 2X6, that's good.
he said
"ok. i could do that".
His name is David. i have his phone number now. He's close by and he's my plan C. ok. Plan C. Because this last time, Plan A and B were not available. Proactive.
And i had a long conversation with Kelly who took the two doe goats. And i emailed her later, because i knew i needed to. When she gets set up down there on her Lavender Ranch, i am hoping she will take Sonny Ray. It's time. Someone who (me) is not breeding Goats doesn't need four bucks. Probably none, but for sure, not
four. Sunny Ray lives with his father Gideon who is very old for a Nigerian Dwarf Goat but still going. Sunny Ray, now in his third year is more and more copping an attitude and giving Gideon a hard time. Gideon seems to take it in stride, tho he is crippled. But it's hard for me. Buck goats have extensive verbalizations and are very loud. Hard to listen to.
I haven't heard back from her yet. I hope for this. I love Sunny Ray. He and his sister Cinderella were the first born here and so much loved and held and loved. He is a good and thoughtfull Goat in his so much buckness. He would make a good addition for her herd.
Earlier, on the way back from my work away in San Antonio, i went to Old Cowboy's where we practiced using the Morphine Nebulizer. He needs more practice. But he practiced. and he had good results from it…i just called to see. Good results.
so a day of kindness. All around. of trying to see what can make things easier. yes.
