Mending.

repairing.  or  filling a space that is empty in some way.   Jude's teaching of design mending.  So,  not to just fill a space,  but to fill it by 

design,  or maybe some kind of Beauty.

The Thing itself is strong still,  has vertical and horizontal,  but there are spaces  that if they are not filled,  will become weak.  If left alone,   become spaces,  which in and of themselves would maybe be Beauty Full but yet,  vulnerable to On Goingness.  

Mending.

Once again,  i get home from the work away and phone rings.  Can they come visit the Goats?  OK.

They come,  after picking up from kindergarten,  they come and they bring Gifts.  How amazing.  I don't know how to think of it.  They bring Cottonwood branches and 2  50lb bags of Goat Pellets,  a bag of shredded carrots.

you will have to double click to see him,  the child, Zarek,  in the "door" to the beginning of the corridor

he wanted to know what i was doing,  taking his pic and then wanted to take a pic of his mother and of Travis

he did.  He held the camera and listened to the order in which the buttons were pressed.  Yes.

They stayed about an hour.

Maybe people mend without really  knowing?  but are "drawn to" ?????  Somehow,  mutual tendency?,  pull,  or if we want to go that far, Karmic energy?  or , even further, well….i won't go there now.  But they called.  Could they come by again?,  ok, yes.

I talked to Rebecca about helping with the hoof trimming.  She listens.  Quiet.  I like that VERY MUCH,  quiet listening.

the MOON is stitched in place,  part of the Lizard except the tail which will need to be in motion with some rocks,  so loose for now,  until the rocks….then…..

there is a very quiet satisfaction to this Making.

    Filling a space with kindness and generosity. So good to see Travis, Rebecca and Zarek, peeking out of the fence opening. To me, your pouch making comes at the right moment, you could have chosen some other way of holding memory but it is the pouch with its opening that has come. I feel that there is a connection between the openings that occur when space needs mending and the openings of the pouches that you are making. Both need filling with tangibles and intangibles, mending and memory.
