i have been really enjoying watching the Eckhart Tolle Utubes.   There are a lot.

and today,  as i was practicing  as he teaches….being  in and of a single moment….a butterfly entered that moment and i reached out.  I saw.  a butterfly.  i saw hands,  reaching in acknowledgement of shared presence and in the instance it was blindingly beauty Full.  and then, of course,  as it goes,  i saw the hands…whose hands are these????  they are so Old!  eee,  mine!  My old hands.

Old hands reach for Butterfly    $30

so i made a Cloth.   It's in the shop.  4 x 6 inches  butterfly cloth by deb lacativa.  Cloth and ink.

the new tarp and  Old chains from the Old cowboy.  The chains are iron.  Heavy.  Working here to hold the tarp down against Wind Man.  I need to remember to take the chains.  They have multiple uses.

from the tarping of the 1/2 ton bale through the writing of this so far,  Wind Storm has come and gone.  It's quiet now and the walls are not shaking.  This next week tho,  every day is forcasted thunder storms.  So ok.  we are Ready.   (?)

    We are s’posed to get some storming here too…tomorrow. Fortunately I’ve got no where I must go so…I guess I’m ready. In fact, I like storms when I’m inside this prewar building and far enough away from the river (probably).

    in a prewar building…how SOLID that sounds.
    lately, the walls rattling, if i were going to be staying here, ….I’d need to begin doing things. Movement from WIND causes falling apart. I know this from my fences. Have learned it WELL. and now, it’s this metal house. Not, prewar. Not really made for where it ended up.
    Young man Travis, he can do things. I have no idea What he might do and i really don’t want to know. But he will do it. I know that i can’t. We have lived our limit here with what there is. How amazing and interesting is this? Timing. Time ing.

    the chains. yeah. good score. I debated…looking at them…thinking, WHAT might i need them for? But Who Knows won out and i just brought them home and they have worked this way so far…holding things down against WIND
    am thinking in the days to come, there will be other uses.
    I love how they are rusted and old and so HEAVY, so HEAVY and the sound they make

    Log chains. A small woman and a small truck can move a big tree trunk with log chains and a little determination. They make me feel like wonder woman.

    yes. i love this. i love these chains, their weight, their
    sound, their “hand”. chains are similar to Cloth with
    that hand….how they settle, almost liquid ly.
    i have another job with them in the coming days…i look
    forward to it
