i said a couple days ago that this is Emrie's Cloth About Magic and it is.  But i realize it is not FOR Emrie,  but for All of us that will gather on that Hill in California.  It's a Cloth for the human endeavor there,  what will occur as it goes;   getting there and then being there.  It's a Cloth for the Hill itself that will receive us and what we bring to It.   Being wide open to Magic will be the key.  All the past(s) will be brought and Planted.  Magic will grow us.  Will grow the Life.

Only so many days now.  

Throughout the days and nights i find self  ~ off and on~  feeling almost overwhelmed by the not knowing and it is a waste of energy.  Needing to work with that and work hard at that,  i have found self going way back to when i was in Ann Arbor…same feeling but different circumstance.  I studied meditation with a woman who was psychic,  Cathy Florida.   That's a long story but i came away with the most fundamental,  Sanskrit,  Soham.   So.. the in breath,  ham… the exhale.  Soham.  I am or I am that.   It is said when a child comes into the universe, he/she cries by making the sound "Koham" to which the Universe replies back….Soham.  The universe tells her   "you are the same as I am".  

This is what i am doing.   Stopping,  whenever that wasted energy begins and repeating this until i quiet then continuing the just going.   It's Good.  And last night i actually got up and Sat for some time…it was warm enough in the house for this,  then fell into a sound sleep again,  waking this morning to stand in front of this Cloth.  Looking.  Then walking over to the small scraps baskets.  These arose.

were quickly placed and stitched without  "thought",  without hesitation.  and this is how it will continue as this time goes along.  First thing in the morning.  without thought,  without hesitation.  Whatever arises.  And then no "interpretation".   Just what is.   This Cloth will tell its own story.

    Speculation, Anticipation, Imagination…the story of before going. I find that when I’m stuck in the round and round of mind matter that the more physical meditations work for me like this twenty minute set (sent by Wendy Golden Levitt) https://youtu.be/3K-0JpiJu-o

    the Qigong is beautyfull but i would need to teach myself the
    forms and now isn’t the time for that for me. I have found
    my Self remembers those long ago days of those two syllables…
    my mind and my body and they are perfect now. During that
    time they’d become like a reflex….turning toward and into
    nothing but the breath and it’s beautyfull how my beingness
    remembers so well and can pick up where i left off some
    20 years ago…amazing, really.

    isn’t it amazing how remembering to focus on the breath, the in and then the out settles the mind and heart, bringing calm and centreing, my mantra in times of trouble is the chorus of Let it Be (the old Beatles song)

    I use soham too, my body remembers with that first syllable on the in-breath and I calm, relax straight away.

    Good to be reminded how we need to come back to the breathing – how strange we can forget for a while but it is there, ready for us to reach out and then we Connect. Thank you so much for the reminding – and the lovely story of Koham and soham.
    I so much love to see how your cloths evolve, and the meaning they bring and you bring out Grace.
    I had a wonderful experience today. Yesterday noticed the waterproof felt was being ripped off the roof of the garden building I use as a studio. Asked online for recommendations for someone who could repair it and a lovely man came. He was changing his van today so had a day without anything urgent (very unusual) – and the job is done! I was so fortunate A) that the felt was disturbed by a dry wind and B) it was the one day he could do it. Heavy rain forecast tomorrow! I feel so very blessed.
