looking,  more branches and limbs and Listening.  Realizing that this Cloth is the Tree's story…the Old Russian Olive's story.  Not mine.   I didn't know that,  but now i understand.

how my story of the Old Russian Olive was mine,  but not Hers.  Her story is of an entirely different depth and meaning,  not so much  how  she appeared to be FOR me,  but what she WAS of Her SELF and 

IS still,  of Her Self.   And the Cloth…the pieces,  the placement,  all of it,  is as she needed for her story to Continue.  As i go,  she will tell the story of Her Self in all the ways she can.  I will stitch them and by stitching them,  will take her story into my heart and carry it there always.  I will be able to tell the story to the trees in the new place.  I will be able to see them differently because i will have her story as a template.

    Writers think like this….the sentence comes but the meaning takes time to see, to reveal itself…painters to-the image just arrives then the meaning begins to manifest. Wonderful to center this story in the tree…to make it her story. Wonderful.

    Of course everyone (everyone aware) can think like this. I didn’t mean only artists and writers – and everyone can be an artist or writer too…of course. Consciously though, I am the agent of my thought and action so that’s all I meant.

    Hmmmm…I can’t help wondering if that Spirit you captured as a green orb in your garden…Spirit was first thought when I saw it…was the Spirit of the Old Russian Olive…lingering…waiting to be reborn as something new…perhaps waiting for you to tell her story, this story? Her story in cloth, the green in that cloth, the tree and green…how we are all intertwined…how she wanted to be remembered…

    i think of the orbs as energies, elementals, like in the
    Findhorn vocabulary…
