yesterday and today.   

yesterday.  50~60 people.  All good hearted,  all with so much inside them.  Some of which they voiced there,  much more of which i assume was unsaid.  Who they all are.   Are.  Are.   You could tell a lot by the food.  I keep thinking about the food.  Which was really astounding.  How people cooked and baked.  because it said PotLuck,  so they cooked and baked in each their own homes and brought it.  I want to keep looking at this.

The early part of the day was work away, being a Monday on that calendar map.  and when Home,  i was just kind of wandering.  I saw

    Vegetable. Asparagus. I never planted it because it takes 3 yrs
    to get to the Eating stage, so i didn’t because that seemed too much waiting, but it’s been 20 going on 21 years and i could have a CROP of it, but i didn’t so there it IS….GROWING and becoming itself
    Rock
    Shell
    Skin
    Hands
    the Hands, they are still strong

    I love the shell in your hand. I have such a shell too…and it finds itself on a windowsill in a big City…my hand has similar wrinkles and my skin similar markings. We each once floated in amniotic fluid until we were pushed out and found ourselves in our worlds. It is plenty much to contemplate.

    Potlucks bring out the love people feel at being part of something…a way of sharing love and gratitude. Your land Grace is a treasure trove of that same kind of love and gratitude. ….as always thank you for sharing.
