feeling INTO the circle of a day, feeling it, feeling it, trying to feel it More

in this one circle of Seasons.

Beginning with this time of such small days.

This is not how it is,  but is the beginning of trying to see how it is.  It's the night that needs SEEing, where it begins,  where it cradles,  where it begins letting go.  Night Rules this circle of season.  The time of dreaming and as that guy at the 7 Eleven on the Rosebud Reservation said,  the time of Looks Within.   How great,  that so small exchange over 20 years ago as i drove across the continent,  stopping where i was caught between day/night by a Sun Set to end all Sun Sets and at the 7 Eleven on the Rez he just asked where i was going.  Not where i was coming from,  but Where i was going and i told him more than he needed to know and that's all he said.  Time of Looks Within.

    “Time of Looks Within” – thank you for this gem. Reminds me of this part of Mary Oliver’s poem “White Eyes”:
    In winter
    all the singing is in
    the tops of the trees
    where the wind-bird
    with its white eyes
    shoves and pushes among the branches.
    Like any of us he wants to go to sleep,
    but he’s restless — he has an idea, and slowly it unfolds….

    I think I’m in that Time of Looks Within . . . turning things down so I can just sit there and look at the landscape from the inside.

    yes and i remember it so so clearly. How i told him more than he might ever imagined knowing because i was alone and DRIVING across a continent and i had so many words because i was me and i was white, white people having so many words
    and he stood there, looking off
    and when it was done,
    said
    Time of Looks Within
