This morning there was this from Marti
she'd been Out communing with her dye pot and not being satisfied, she re~bundled and re~clamped the bottom and sent this pic among others. I always love to see what she's doing but for some reason, this photograph taken from the monitor screen just made me crazy. I love it's graininess, the forms of the fence, line, clothespins, cloth and clamps. I just LOVE this photograph. I never understand why, when we, the "we" have something extraordinary, we are not inclined to offer it UP to Others who don't have the extraordinary….like in if she made Cards with this image, i would buy a Ton of them, send them everyday to everyone with total Joy, just so BEAUTY FULL and ENERGETIC and FINE to me
and then, last Monday, when i was going to leave after taking a pizza and sharing it with Audrie in town, the Honda car wouldn't start. No forewarning. Just dead as a doornail. So we stood and looked with the hood up. Nothing seemed loose. and after standing in silence for a while, she said that her next door neighbor was always under the hood of his car, she didn't know him tho, so i walked over and knocked, explained and he came and took off the clamps on the battery terminals and cleaned them and noted that the Neg charge clamp was just so corroded that it couldn't be tightened and he worked some at it. We finally jumped the car with Audrie's and i made a bee line for Home.
There it sat while i regrouped in my mind. OK. Yesterday (regrouping takes some time sometimes) i hooked up the battery charger. Let it run all afternoon.
let it run on fast charge 40 amp continuous. All afternoon. at the end of which time when i disconnected and turned the key….Nada. not even a click. Dead. So this mid morning, i combed my hair and re-connected to the 200 amp Engine Start which took a couple tries but YES and i unplugged the charger, got behind the wheel and made a return bee line to the auto parts store, careful to slide through stop signs and judge traffic lights, taking no chances. New battery and YES!!!!! Perfect! This may seem very mundane, but for me, is an accomplishment. And i realized that this old Honda is 30 years old this year when i had to give the year make and model. Hmmm. But i was Home and all was well and i took my 20 min nap cause that's how it's going these days. 20 min mid day nap, followed by 40 min at least Sitting before on with a day….
The nap. Always Deep Sleep.
And i awoke. Lying there on the futon, on my back, different from my night sleep, on my back so i don't sleep too long
i woke. lying there…just looking….well, not even looking, just eyes open, waking, "re~entering" and just saw through the house. The door is open, day comes In, Sun is warm, sound of birds otherwise Stillness.
I am awash…No…too strong a word, no, it was so so soft, the feeling, so light, yes , light, a feeling of great well~being not because of anything at all, just this very light soft flow of the Goodness of Everything. I felt so happy to live here, just Happy for No Reason.
I felt something then
in my hair. Maybe it's my Lucky Twig. It's now on the altar.
