eclipse

i was at the Post Office in the next little "town" over,  Lemitar,  when the eclipse was happening…on my way to work.  As i came out,  an old farmer guy pulled up in his truck.  Said to me,  you wanna see?  I said ok and he handed me what i guess was his phone?  and said just look up and i did and saw a small image of a partial eclipse.  I said….Once in a lifetime, yes?   and he nodded.  Then at work,  it was just

all kind of softened.  The starkness,  harshness of SUN here,  just softened.  It was gentle.  But i went on with my day.

Essense,  formerly known as Rat Boy is MIA.  3 times now.  Just Wheat and Goldie.

i have no pics.

    Tays attack sent him underground I guess or far away. He can’t live on his own. Hope he returns though one less is likely a relief.
    Nice story Grace…I decided to avoid the heat and crowds; stayed home with the internet view. Took a shot of my front window as the sun returned. Then a quick dip in a warm tub, dress and off to the zendo for two hours of meditation. Good day.

    Like that little Rat Boy I am finding myself a bit MIA … nothing I can really put my finger on just feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything … so much going on in the news it overwhelms me. I’m here just feeling a bit sad and lost.

    his mother stayed still for the first time and i saw that the markings of her face are the same as his….different, and not really so much “pretty”

    Tay is just an aside for him. Just so he knew not to come into this front yard. He was ok with that. But there is a BIG world out back and tonight, i know a big world where his mother needs to take them, they ARE feral.
    It’s what he needs to learn now….live on his own. He is male.
    i don’t feel it as a relief, and i don’t feel it as grief, either. Feral is Feral.
    i wish i had a zendo
