but he forgot,  because he went to Wyoming to see the Eclipse.  Hoped there was no inconvenience.

And Tina said in a comment yesterday…."nothing i can put my finger on".   Yes.  just a,  uhhhh, moodiness, for me.  easily sorted through and defined,  yet,  not.  

Dakotah told this today on her blog….junewildflower.wordpress.com…..

the Navajo teaching of  "stay inside and do not observe the eclipse,  out of reverence for what they say is an intimate event between the earth, moon and sun."   I knew this.  i'd forgotten how i Knew this and am so grateful to her for helping the memory.   

so there are things.  and Eclipse when so many donned spectacles to what they deemed a spectacle.  And yet one more day when ratboyEssence is NOT here and i watched this morning just before Light;    the Mother cat and Wheat and Goldie coming through that small space in the Way Back Gate place,  the same space where that Rabbit used to come through until they took up residence under the house….coming "home" from hunting.  She's teaching them to hunt.  There is an OWL that lives near enough by.  S/he would be out there,  calling h/ir night sounds when the rabbit was there.   An owl can take a good sized cat.

and i thought all day about making a cheery post.  That maybe that might be a mission,  to make cheery posts,  or at least neutral ones?????    But here i am.  Just sayin.

and when feeding early,  because i wanted to support this evenings Farmer's Market in town,  when feeding early,  behind me in the Middle Oasis,  where the Raft is and where the Mirror on the Chair is,  there was a rushing of Sound of Wings of a Large Bird and i spun to see but could see nothing,  but the sound of it was real…….

and my dreams have dramatically changed in the last weeks,  maybe last night an example of how it is now,  it's all about DOING…on the brink of it….no more is it about where the doing might take place.  That is inconsequential now…

Last night,  "they" were coming,  would arrive any minute and they were beings i "knew" but hadn't seen in so long that i couldn't know what they were like now,  and i didn't know how to tell anything about them,  but then suddenly they arrived and it was a tall woman of color,  maybe Alyssia's color,  and maybe Emrie's features,  that are not mixed black and european,  but more of her father's that is sharper featured…El Salvadoran,  I saw her face,  clearly.  She is/was mid life Woman and her hair was in rasta braided antlers,  stiff and rising from her head,  tall and branched.  Her clothing colorful and she had a woven braided leather bag around her shoulders that was cut through in one "scene",

that was noted,  but things went on,  so i don't know anymore about that

she had brought children.  Two girl children,  maybe 3 years,  4,  who were independent of her as were at least 2 boy children.  There was a baby,  in a carry thing,  that i was most involved with.  There was water on the floor,  but of no importance and in that water there were lizards moving about and i worried some about the lizards,  but the two little girls did not.  and the lizards did not.

    I think about writing a cheerful blog too…considering all the nasty news of the world, I have to let it go or keep it small.
    Yesterday I decided to avoid the heat and crowds; stayed home with the internet view from NASA. Took a shot of my front window as the sun returned.
    I’m envious of your dreaming. I probably still dream but don’t wake and know…wake because of physical discomforts usually, rise and pace, or treat with something and go back. The additions to the cloth speak in images…perhaps from dreams.
    Today was way too hot-90+ but felt like well over 100 with the humidity. I stayed in until it broke down to below 80 and had a walk. There was wind. Now thunder! BIG rolling drums of it!@!

    have a reason why…thank you! So good you are real, not cheer full.

    PS
    “Laguna–Acoma Pueblo (New Mexico): “My Chacoan and Mesa Verde ancestors were astronomers. They marked Halley’s Comet, we watched the sun, and we predicted eclipses. The Sun Dagger at Chaco Canyon is a prime example of the science of my Puebloan ancestors. I asked my elders recently of any taboos with eclipses. I was told that they are a time of transformation and not to fear them. Those in our tribe who feel fear have done something wrong. They told me to pray with cornmeal, respect the silence, and accept the transformation coming.”

    I also didn’t look. It was as if my inner self was saying–don’t look.
    transformation–that would be nice. I would like to become a different version of myself. Again.
    I would like to be the ME that gazed up at the camera at ages one and two. So “knowing”

    i really have no choice…it’s what it is.
    i think a lot of us didn’t watch, just didn’t….as in
    didn’t have a “reason”, but just felt it not to Watch…????
