More me 244f

Us.   2010     When they all were here, son too and we were constructing the ROOM after Jenny and i tore out the wall of the house.

 

5:10 pm

That note from Wendy.  The work of the child   L.  in the sand tray….coming on THE DAY here.

and unless i lack courage and the will to Just Go,  it is Done today.  In South Carolina,  they sprayed for the Zika mosquito…they aerial sprayed…a product called Trumpet.  A woman there,  a beekeeper lost 46 hives,  more than 3 million bees,  IN  MERE MINUTES.  i have always lived by Signs whether or not i choose to acknowledge that or not,  but the

signs.  They talk the truth.

What do we do when we are afraid?  What is the first instinct still?  We kill.   Eckhart Tolle in a New Earth puts it plainly.  "Evolve or die".

i took the solid wood door out from behind the futon couch where it lives hidden.  It rests now on the Dalai Lhama end table.  Pretty much fills the space.  It's my sand tray.  and i think how it's good that the Color Hue cloth faded into the color of sand.  

so i will stitch down what's here,  from Then.   after that, i'll wash it and hang it in Wind on the clothesline here,  from there….go on.  Now.  these days.  Sand Tray days.  Thank you, Wendy and L

    y’know my Mom didn’t want to leave Houston, she was happy living near her old friends from the company travelling days from 1978 to 2013 but when the last of the brothers moved to North Carolina that made three there and one in Ohio & Houston is not the most interesting place to visit, so she pulled up stakes at 83, hopped in her little red Beetle & drove to Cary, found an apartment to rent and a new hairdresser within one week. 3 years later she’s doing just fine, has made a bunch of new friends (she’s a good listener), plays 2- 4 tables of bridge a week & is still driving and living independently. She does change better than anyone I have ever known, always made moving an adventure when we were kids and moving a lot all around the world. Just a story but hey moving is good, there’s always a new garden to make and people to meet!

    Now that you have added more to this post (yesterday there was only the picture of you three…now a cornucopia of memory and this magnificent story cloth of days!) I just went searching for the “August” blog I did because August has passed into September but your “August” hangs on my wall and I found myself staring at here this morning remembering that first it was a loan and I sent it back as promised, but then you sent it back as a gift! Remember?….so here it is if you would like a look back-http://mscomfortzone.blogspot.com/2014/09/august-is-traveling.html
