julie asked a good question. What does Ready mean? and i answered this morning with what i had then. Later today, i got an email from Wendy Golden Levitt about a child that had come to her Sacred Place. He is 5 and needed to talk with a lizard. I've tried to get into the Picasa files to bring forward the Lizard that i sent there. I can't. it's always such a mystery to me, how sometimes i can go there, most times not. but it was in 2010 when i made that Cloth…during Jude's (Jude Hill Spirit Cloth) patchwork beasts online workshop. This child needed to talk with a Lizard and there it was, a Lizard…hanging in the entryway. He took it down and climbed INTO the sand tray, the cloth with him. What came of this is really more than anyone might Ever HOPE for. and i can't put it here, it's sacred to that space, the child, the cloth, the sand tray that was in the moment the desert that the child had come from. But what it gave me, GIVES me, is total and complete verification of the part of my Self that will need to stand and be accounted for in the days to come. To TRUST that self and live from that self, no other, without rationalizing or again, without apology. Truth is Truth. My truth may not be yours or anyone elses, but it IS mine. and I stand with it.
i looked for and found this. It's on poster board…was cut this odd way because someone smeared paint on its surrounding. I drew it when i was trying to know what to do about leaving Michigan all those years ago. Then, when i couldn't come to any decision about something, i would draw. Just draw what came. This came. a lizard, the messenger…said….Go. I went.
there was more i was going to say here but i can't think of what it was in this moment, so this is it for now. it's enough.
