the weariness that might have been expected yesterday, came today.  Worked away.  Groceries.  Nap.  Bring in wood.  Goat water.   The across the way people forever claiming some family catastrophy or another and wanting to know if i have some work came.   For a long time i've had to say no.  Today  i said ok,  the outside Fence weeds and they needed gloves, shovels, rakes and got half way done and said  they'd come back tomorrow and i'm just done for the day.   

It's Tay's way to check things.  I believe that she knows every tiny single thing about this Place.   And she makes her rounds several times a day.  This evening she has checked where Chinche's blanket was at the back of the wood stove several times.  There's just floor there now.  She goes Out then and checks everything Out there,  in a big interwoven circle.  She stands and studies Chinche's grave.  She's understanding how things change and then don't change back.

    Dear love person dear old cat and dear love dog Tay. Weariness waits till it can afford to let itself happen. Be extra kind to it. Some good news perhaps. There will be a free live stream of Krishna Das Kirten in India on the 14th. I sent an email with the links.

    beings.

    “Mostly sunny and quite cold”, not the weather report I would wish for you today in Polvadera but may the sun be warm enough to seep into your body and melt some of your weariness away.

    yes. these things. they leave us weary and flattened and
    just well, loose with no moorings. But it’s also a Real
    Feeling that needs to Be. Needs to be Allowed and waited
    about…to let it Be as long as it needs, not pushing it away….
    breathing with it. We are still Here. So we breathe with it.
