Maybe of all the ones i've made,  this is the one that is most uhhhh,  most 

itself.

If someone asked me to show them what i have been learning these years with Spirit Cloth, with Jude Hill,  what all of it has meant and means to me,  maybe this one would be the one i would show them.  

because this one is unto its own self.  Is it's own story with no language except for the eyes.  Otherwise,  it is sound and form and touching and here to there and down and rising and decay and becoming and well…so much that has no words.    I love it for that.

and i am still on the Road….that going back and forth between worlds of the last days.  I am thinking of what concerns All of Us  maybe tonight,  a Saturday night….. the grandson,  now back "home" in California,  for the first time legally,  ….Mothering his 5 month old son who is just in the last day pushing himself into a sitting position only to fall down and try again.  The people in the 17th District Court of Los Lunas New Mexico….the criminals in that court with their tight mouths as they await their Stuff,  maybe drugs.  The legal people who are oh so Going to make their marks in this world with their interesting and amazing outfits…swirly skirts,  heavy gold earrings,  fitted suits,  all manner of hair arrangements

the people Going at the Train Station,  arranging their tickets some for just in that moment like we were,  some for days ahead,  the ones out on the sidewalk,  exchanging good comfort one to another,  hopefull for however the night might go….me here,  my concern being if Nogal and Tenzen have enough water…i don't really want to hook up the hose in this moment,  maybe tomorrow morning?  but well,  i look and look three times and it's ify so i DO hook up the water and fill their water….

What we care about.  

What we care about……

    sometimes we just wait, because that is all we can do. know to do.
    but always, walking with you is moving in Big Love!

    There is so much we care about. So much. Sometimes we can ‘hook up the hose’ and sometimes, well, we can can hold our caring in our hearts and hope that is enough.

    am thinking we leave our marks by seemingly small interactions
    with others as we go…small exchanges that are so telling
    of how it is for us in our experience and these exchanges
    weave into the something BIG that remains and where we leave
    our mark
    the Cloths, i feel them as not so much…they are transient

    to sit with this one….
    Thank you upon thank you upon thank you all rising up from
    such deep gratitude and Love that you
    opened the place in my mind where this Cloth
    could come to be…
    maybe like your grandmothers blooming plant, maybe only
    once in a lifetime, but
    it Did come to be and wellllll, Thank you
    It holds me as i sort.
