i have no pic today.  But if i did,  it would be of the smallest Praying Mantis you could possibly imagine.  it's body…smaller than a thread,  a hair even,  so so so small,  yet a complete being,  Praying Mantis,  it's speck of head turning and looking up from the water thing handle….where i would have put my hand to turn it on but as it goes,…….something said wait,  look,  and there,  Lo and Behold.  I think it must have been a day or so old.  Have already Grown.  I had watched,  those years ago,  as an egg case came alive with completely NEW ONES.  This one had been in this world maybe a day or two.  

and the GrapeVine is pulsing.  Two,  stopping by,  "i hear you are leaving".  These are not easy conversations.  and then late afternoon,  Jamie and Talulah came to say GoodBye to the Goats.  We sat long.  Talking.  The Goats coming and approaching,  running off, being their most beauty FULL selves….i am proud of them,  this herd.  And people will say…How are You Going To DO it?….and i hear self saying well,  i don't know.  I don't know exactly when.  I say as soon as humanly possible i say i don't know,  i say i don't know,  don't know and i heard my Self saying

In order to get there,  we have to go.

so…when?  exactly?  i don't know.  How exactly?  i don't know.

but for sure,  In order to get there,  we have to go.  

As soon as we can.

    praying mantis are such aware beings, we had a young one in the van a few days ago, released it in a front garden full of native grasses and shrubs after traveling on my hand for the trip.

    In both our lives we have gone. We just did it without a lot of explaining. It is hard for people to understand. I am sure it will all come together. You have so much support in your family.
    I didn’t hear about the solar power. We have that at our cabin. Solar with four batteries for storage.. you would have more sun there and would need more batteries. I don’t know how that is done there maybe you don’t need batteries. I just hope it works for you all. I love knowing the power comes from the sun.

    Mantis! How I miss them in the Church garden–no more.
    Hard conversations and “I don’t know” the only only possible answer.
    Whew.

    They really do nothing else but work at it, even when
    they aren’t there working at it, it’s all consuming.
