could not be at a more perfect time.  I get one every year for a while now.  Have sent them to Daughter.  This year i got two.  One for her, one for me.    I will use the Astronomy calendar for the Wall calendar,  the day to day business of life,  but this one,  i'll keep to hold in my hands.  Hold in my heart.

the walls are made of pallets. " with upcycled foam and light clay straw for insulation.  A heavy rendering of clay cob provides thermal mass which is finished with a thin natural plaster called alis to protect the surface."  Can you see me here???????????????????????????

so i hold these images and realize (i think) that i can Go.  that it will be as it needs to be.  this, referring to leaving here and going to California where most of my kids are.  It's time.  as Wendy's child said,

"tell the new mexico grandmother she's got lizards in her imagination and she should go somewhere else to live now"  

Stuff's Good.

Dream update:  so last night it was kindof about sex.  it was a Johnny Depp kind of person who was there,  it was unclear whether he had already been a sex partner or just was iminant,  but there was a lot with him and he had brought me a LARGE aquarium thing….but a terrarium really,  large,   like maybe 6ft long and 2ft high and it was lit with a soft red light and in it were various life forms…the one most prominent,  like some kind of creature that went in and out of shell homes,  like the hermit crabs the kids had,  but there were also many many more life forms

    Thinking about you moving gives me a thrill
    (but still a little sadness, mitigated by your possible arrangement with -forgot his name- who will care for the wildlife)

    well, if you move, make sure you take pics of the interior of your new place because I think it will be just as cool and interesting as your current interior—and I look at those photos often for inspiration. I’m kind of sad to see you leave the Land of Enchantment, but when it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

    that’s something that makes some sort of sense, the
    sex. Underlines the reality that it is such a primal
    energy that remains of it’s own accord,
    me, 71 yrs and celibate for probably 15 years give or take,
    with absolutely zero urge in my Day Life….
    interesting, huh.

    there’s a lot that needs to happen there first. So it’s
    not imminent at all. i just need to keep revisiting it
    in my heart so when it’s time, i can go Easy (er).
    This Place will always be Home.

    thinking of creating the permaculture forms there
    is what i would call a “thrill” for me….the land
    there should lend itself to this.
    there will always be some sadness.

    very good yurt link.
    That was the original plan, leaving Michigan, to build
    a yurt in Oregon.
