even though today was a work away day, the sense of Round prevailed. When i got back, there wasn't a LINE, but just a nap and then more roundness.
things like this. 3 views of Tay's digging of something, she does nothing with the digging, just digs it. There are several of these around but this one is in the House yard. So in keeping with a Round Feeling, i filled it in. Some. Not totally. Thinking to leave a depression to plant something in next spring. But the point was/is that instead of just seeing it and walking by, i stopped. Stopped and took some moments to change it.
another example…the walkway that is made of flat pices of slate and sandstone…
sometime earlier in this circle of season i'd pulled weeds and thrown them there, thinking to gather them up and put them in the burn pile. This is just a short distance from the porch steps and Dear Chinche has liked peeing on them. Not far go go and somehow a good place she thinks. So i have walked over this flat piled peed on weeds for the whole summer now. Everytime thinking, Move It,
but i didn't.
Today i did. Rain and soon some snow will wash the dirt off the stone and it will be a walkway again. These are such small things, but there are MANY of them…just small things that have gone noticed but undone. I have only done things Required for Real Going. I have gathered up dog shit. I have given Water to all. I have raked out the Albatros that is the Doe Goats Sleeping Place. I have kept fencing strong. I guess that's it. But none of these small things that are small Housekeepings, that are small round things. And the pleasure and satisfaction of doing just those two things is just Fine.
I see that even though there has been more Water From the Sky this year than Before, we are moving fast into the Winter months. Things are dry and letting go. Not what i would have expected. So i am watching this. Wondering.
I had the thought to put Maria's cloth on the wall like this. NOT in pocket form but as it was when it arrived from her.
This is how it is for me with plant dyed cloth. It being impossible to use it as i would other cloth…the marks of the plants and their company being just So Much in and of themselves. So i had thought to make it a pocket which would allow the images of the cloth itself BE. Not be obscured by stuff. And then too, i always am thinking about what is good or not about Cloth making, as in UseFull…a pocket might be usefull? Where just something of Beauty might not be considered so?
i LOVE those black marks. Just LOVE them and they are Usefull to me. They feed me.
So since Tina wanted this LizardMoon, i will let her decide. How does she want it?…as a Pocket??? or Like this.
