maybe i really just need a Husband

Nanette linked me to a really really great blog in Maine.  Small farm of sheep and goats.  She linked, thinking they have "weather" and i might like looking there.  Well…it's just GREAT and they happen NOT to be having weather in the moment,  but i went back through and it's really so Heartening.  And it pulls to the forefront the thing about me needing to at some point make a Move with my dilemma re the Goats.  This would be the year if i can muster the wherewithall.   So…maybe what i need is a husband i am thinking?????  This woman has one and he seems to be an equal cog in her wheel……  but i don't Want a husband.  Really,  the last thing in the world i would want,  but i do have

Her.   The One that is ever present on the big window curtain at the West end of the house.  This is where Fiction might enter in to the picture.  I don't even have a name to call to her with….She is just there….with Yvettes beautyFULL felted silk…a Goat Goddess but i don't much think in terms of Goddess',  so…..

up in the right hand corner,  the orangyambery looking thing….i had sent to Saskia and the Bird King for the Gang at Bird King's Hostel.  It's the last of the tiny gourds i used to grow and then paint or draw on.  These,  Shelters for Wandering Spirits,  and i thought it would be perfect there for however the beings there  might find use and to see it here in an email pic today just sent my Heart Sailing….

    My comments don’t seem to be showing up on your site at the moment but just to say I love your writing and maybe being at loose end would be the time to start writing the ficton/everyday stories, just stuff, beginnings, maybe a way to condense your thoughts and bring forth a clearer view.

    With all that has gone on this year, the year you turned 70, the known, the expected, the unforseen, the balance of death and new life, the force of mother nature with this massive snow storm, it is totally understandable about wanting a “husband” metaphorically, someone perhaps to help carry the load. Thing is,the year is almost over and the loose ends are much like your favorite ritual of carrying over what mattered from the old calendar into the new. Tomorrow night, one of your favorite nights, the calendar marking, the big exhale and then the next day, the first day of the new year, the big inhale for whatever comes…one other thing is that you are just in the beginning of your 70th year, this new decade with so many possibilities ahead, and the certainty of some real changes presenting…so, be at loose ends querida because you are good with just going and doing and that is the constant thread.
