so
i just decided to go ahead and be
sick.
I've never done that before. Ever.
But…Why not? Illness is also a Path.
The biggest issue today was Way Too Much Ash in the Wood Stove.
not really such a bad big issue, right? right.
So i slept a lot. Made soup, slept and woke, slept and woke , a whole new experience. And finally,
as Sun rolled to the rim, so did Crazy Wind. Finally. And i emptied the ash and can begin again.
It’s about time you take care of yourself.. don’t think those goats will come in and make you soup.
Glad you “gave in”..

i have a system for the ash. an old heavy soup pot., i shovel around the main coals and fill it., Covered, the little bits of coal heat the pot and i leave it in the corner of the bathroom . it actually adds a bit of heat for an hour or so before it dies out.
rest is the best.

here..at a friend’s house…the cold is setting in and the small basket that serves as a kindling basket is pushed back into a corner..next to obsolete..there are always coals to start the day and heat the night gently…the kindling basket becomes useful again in the spring…strange i never gave this any thought before i lived here..even though we almost aways lived in houses with wood burning stoves….
i am so glad that you were able to sleep..take care..be well gentle day grace

It’s about listening to your body. Your body tells you when it’s time to sleep, to take the time for yourself. To care enough about yourself so you can care for others.

well… living like i do, it’s pretty natural…the sleep,
the taking care. so…i am thinking and watching. Thinking
and watching.
Maybe it’s the Psyche that wants to slow down to close to
nothing for a while? so a virus is convenient.

i wonder, !, maybe this is True? Receiving it, without
