Night mind had said…go look over there,  that stack at the end of the book shelf by the wood stove and yup….here it was.  I'd looked a few days ago and decided i must have either sent it to Julian Via Alyssia or given it to the Library,  but here it still is.  Good.

Morning mind then says…Go read.  Start again.  ok.  Ellen Meloy,  and i can barely read the beginning of this…but i do and get to this place where she is trying to understand what is happening to her,  IN her and she talks of this as anger,  but i read it different,  i read it as not about anger,  but fear and she says this   "In Inuit custom,  an angry person [a person with fear]  expends his or her emotion by walking straight across the landscape.  When all anger [fear] is spent,  the stopping point is marked with an object,  indicating the length or degree of the person's rage [fear].  What if my anger [fear] walk circumvented the globe, and i ended up tapping myself on the shoulder?"

listening,  i find this piece of linen from Beth.  She said it was from a horrible pink thing that she bathed in Walnut.  It's just right.  Just the right Ground.

Tales from the bird hut,  Saskiavanherwaarden.com   and i saw this pic at the end of her post.  !!!  When i  imagine my Space,  on that Hill,  i have always not imagined anything about it.  But i looked at this…and i think it's about the exact size of the space that will be my home,

and it is so familiar.  I guess i might imagine something much more sparten.  But…i was stricken by this image…

    Love the way the cloth speaks to you, the way everything speaks to you, and that picture from Saskia!…the image of her superimposed. That’s a just right looking room and open to the out of doors. Good dreaming!

    I love all this; the unfolding of thought, the field notes, the thought of small spaces.

    There is a part of my mind that tells me where mislaid things lie. I get drawn there repeatedly as if by a magnet and I say I’ve looked ther twice already but inevitably there it is. Sometimes there is no message an I know that the mislaid is instead lost.
    The image . . . captivating. I have a converted bedroom to work in but as winter approaches I’m thinking of setting up a space in the living room where there is sunshine or a fire to warm me. One room living has an appeal.

    it will be interesting to see how that goes. Part of me
    wants just SPACE. like, even NO FURNITURE. I guess it
    will depend on if there is a loft for the cloth and baskets.
    but then, i saw this pic at the end of her post and it looked
    so somehow like how i have imagined the physical space…maybe
    just that big with a good window and a good opened door and all the rest, that is vague shapes, so much could be my stuff i
    end up taking….
    I wonder what i will end up taking?
    That will be the interesting part…what will i end up taking?
