the Thing i mentioned last night in the response to Jan's comment…the thing of Beauty,  the Thing

to hang on to…

I thought about that today,  what is it i mean by that,  and it's a hope for a way to make all the Risky Buziness easier to bear….i want an image,  a single image that will hold all that i know and work for in my heart,  so when i wake in the night,  i can call for that image and Hold it and let the rest just go.

Days are always just so ok and even fine,  it's that waking in the night.  The dreaming is so intense,  as it always has been but now changing to even more specific Problem Solving and i still would give anything for a night of 

just sleep

this is the bedroom wall that i Wake to…kind of close to the angle that i see when lying down, waking,

Those pics from a calendar some years ago,  the tapestry of Green Tara,  some years ago

maybe the image i want is in Plain Sight?  Maybe all i need to do is turn on the light and look….turn off the light and let it all go.

and back Here,  in my small world of Earth,  i finished.  Everything is Done.   I looked closely at all 5 Cloths and did what needed doing and they are finished.  I stitched on the holding tabs for hanging on all of them.   Tomorrow i will go Out and clip twigs from the Salt Cedar that will be threaded through those tabs.  Ok.   Tomorrow i will only need to Write.  Words.  just write words.   just

write words.   

Which ones?

    sorry to hear about missed sleeping… it is so essential to drop into that deep rest. Green Tara? The Dalai Lama? all those prayer flags? It does seem to me that powerful images greet you already. Maybe it’s sound you need. OM TARA TUTARE TURE SWAHA. Or maybe take all but one down, so there’s a focus. What do I know? “Hang on Dear Dreamer” yes.

    I wake in the night also . . . I joke that I sleep like a baby and wake every few hours. Usually I can still my mind and sleep again but sometimes I need distraction so in my mind I build the perfect house in the perfect garden . . . I start in my bedroom and think of how I love to be woken by the sun each morning. I seldon get past that one room.
