was going to just skip posting. Just skip it. Then sitting in the Morning Chair i looked out the screen door to see this "sky". So, no matter what i had "done" with this day or "did not do" with this day, the Day Its Self ……, ……., was.
So, aside what i did or did not do. Aside from the difficulties of which i participated, the Day experienced itself. Clearly and Completely. I did or did not do things. I Put things onto this day like we might put pieces of cloth on a blank ground cloth.
To sit and watch the sky counts as a day well spent in my book

I love the sky picture! Our sky has been very gray, but I’m grateful for the coolness and the rain we had yesterday in northern California. I love that you have names for things like the “Morning Chair.” Today I had frustration and anxiety. Much better now. I’m hoping that you have found a calm place, too.

Glorious SKY doing itself despite any thing and any one.
Forgive me Grace, but I laughed out loud at the Asshole OC encounter, and the two trips and one in terrible weather and the phrase “driving on the freeway of NO VISABILITY”…and the goats and Tay all twisted up with their expectations, and YOU twisted and turned by the neediness of others and not wanting to be twisted and turned. Okay, not funny, but very, very funny seen from a distance like a short movie. Dear Grace. May Sunday bring you a calm beyond calm, acceptance deeper than the deepest river, and peace for piece work, stitching or staring.

Hi, Grace. I’m sending good thoughts your way. I also want to thank Tina for her comment to Michelle. She expressed so well what I’ve been feeling. I see much reaching out in love when I come here. It is a blessing to me, too. So I’m hoping all is well with you, dear Grace.

I love your sky pictures, and when you write of New Mexico. Willa Cather in “Death Comes for the Archbishop,” writes of the sky there – “…and there was so much sky, more than at sea, more than anywhere else in the world…that brilliant blue world of stinging air and moving cloud. Elsewhere the sky is the roof of the world; but here the earth was the floor of the sky.”
Missing Windthread…hope all is well!
