inbetween moving the hose and just being,  i drew a little

but while standing with the hose at the Volunteer Young Mimosa,  seeing that it's first Dr. Seuss blooms have begun,  looking UP

i felt something on my foot…top of my foot over the arch and brain couldn't identify.  This was a split second,  less,  but it totally registered…brain function…

something i couldn't identify on foot and i looked down to see a maybe 4 inch centipede half way across and because it was a split second there was nothing to do but the experience of it and it continued across into the moist debris of the water bowl but….but the sensation of it's 100 feet,  or would it be 200?,  anyway,  it's MANY feet traversing the top of my foot was

absolutely WONDER FULL…it's softness,  almost weightlessness,  but somehow sensation of each "foot" as it made it's way to water…   I can't tell you.  really cannot think of a way to tell it but the brain image of Centipede! and the actual sensation of it on my skin was two whole worlds apart…the sensation of it was sublime.

Cheese.   don't know if i've already said this?  but i went a couple days ago to Jan's,  the dog trainer Jan to see her new additions that replaced things let go,  the things let go being her herd of meat sheep.  She ended up with 3 new does and two just weaned bucklings because i'll be gone now…no more bucks from here and…and a new herding pup.  So i went to see this transition and came home with a half gallon of Goat milk,  from one of TenZen's does,  and it's rich and excellent.  Cheese.  i saved the whey and froze it and will take it to her this next week for feeding to her hogs.   Me…will make Saag Paneer.

    It’s ll o’clock Monday morning in Manhattan – a rainy day and I’m just posting this response to the Annie Dillard quote that I typed late last night on my return from the wonderful wedding celebration out on Long Island with forty or so souls coming and going, sharing and circulating, enjoying mounds of food from soup to nuts and nonstop flowing libations..so varied, entertaining, illuminating and delicious an event it whirled me through thirty hours from arrival to departure. Hoqever I never posted it (Ha):
    “I read it through twice…each time I understood both more and less. I think I’m tired from time away from the city in open aired tree and plant Full, creative space; stimulating and exhausting, agitating and calming – in other words…a whirlwind. So I’ve saved it to read again when I return from this euphoric state of mind.”
    Now, after an easy eight hours sleep in my own bed, having read it again, I understand it entirely. In fact, I am using it in the next blog post to anchor the photographs from those thirty hours which, by the way, took me three hours to upload and annotate. THANK YOU much dear Grace!
    Lovely photos…the sunlight pattern on your feet, the floor and the page! The woman asking gesture and the space of the unknown words instead of a mouth! The sketches searching for the right face! The cloth stains pattern! And that last shot with cheese in a fascinating dish and the clock in the background for ‘time’!
