Cradle of Mother Night ~ Solstice   $65

this one has been the most difficult to photograph.   Partly things i am not understanding yet about the new camera,  but i think really,  because of the extreme of Night and Day  and i think,  well, of course…that is what the Cloth is speaking of….Solstice….the dominance of Mother Night over SUN.  Of Course.

and then…the Giving.  The Giving to the Day.

 

This feels very very good.

and i got an email from one of the "Quiet Ones" today with this link.  She'd been to the Library and was looking through Mother Earth News…saw this and emailed.   How BEAUTY FULL is this!….This is how we take care of each other,  from distance sometimes,  from being Quiet,  but we keep eachother in mind and in Heart and are There for eachother.    What can be better than this????,  nothing.

I don't think Chinche has much time.   She can no longer stand.  When i take her Out,  she collapses.  Today she licked snow.   But she DID lick snow.  I talked tonight to Tay about when she's gone,  when Tay will be the Only dog.  How it might feel.  That though Chinche doesn't do much of anything anymore,  she is still one of Tay's.   What will it be?,  when it's just me and Tay?   So i talked a lot about that and she listened and looked deep into my face,  listening to my language that is not her language.

    Dear Chinche is in my prayers that her going will be easy and peaceful, a simple quiet going to sleep. Darling Tay . . . the picture pulls at my heart. I am so glad that good Tay is with both of you. The cloth is so beautiful.

    i am thinking it will…be easy and peaceful, a simple quiet going
    when she’s Done with all of it.
    it DOES, pull at the heart because it’s how it IS, a good life lived and then time to go.
    and Tay, the young one, so much more for her, what that might mean, but she lives every single day to its Fullest with Zest and Joy and then lays with the Old One by the fire
    such a teaching, yes?

    She licked snow, still experiencing life as best she can, dear, dear Chinche. I share the feelings that when the end comes, it comes quickly and without pain for her; she the last of your gang of dogs before Tay. The photo of her with Tay so tugs at the heart, especially in black and white. I keep receiving such a strong image in my mind of seeing her wrapped in one of your cloths before she is laid to rest.

    This cloth is so complete and very very. ((((Chinch)))) and what a wonderful photograph! When my critters were ill and old, i added rescue remedy to whatever they sipped or ate, and one who could do neither got her paw pads rubbed gently with it. it is said to revive some, and to make smooth the passage to death if that is the path.

    Yes it is good to have the only conversation… Sending a soft touch for Chinche. The act of sending the article regarding preventing freezing water is a thing of beauty. 🙂
