this morning,  i penciled Us in.  Me, Tay, Tazmeena,  there at campsite B.

and then i turned the camera just a little,  and there I was…looking all Spirit like.  The sunlight from behind in the Room reflecting off the graphite.  How interesting.  and it fixed things for me.  I'd woken being afraid.   Wanting to go NOWHERE.  Wanting things to just stay the same,  meaning that i could continue to labor under the illusion that i can keep everyone SAFE.  Which,  maybe i can.  But that precludes so MUCH.  and i really don't want to preclude so much.  ….so asking….grace!,  what do you really want to happen here?  like Really?  What are you WILLING to DO?  or not.?

that spirit self,  said Go.  For Tay,  for Tazmeena,  for the Goats in the long run,  for Jenny, Alyssia, Julian, Destiny, Emrie.  GO.    

skipping ahead

i got a call from Jenny…she couldn't find the key where Travis said it would be.   Oh, Jeez.  So i call Travis and he is sleeping, key in ashtray.  Call Jenny back and she calls some time later saying that Sunny went UP to Campsite C,  went Strong,  no hesitation,  was BETTER than any of their vehicles and i was so Proud.  Maybe i'll get him pimped out….like new bumper etc.  Someday.  He deserves it.

a few mintues ago,  she mailed me these

    yes. Holding place.
    i am still looking, still just so surprised to see this, them, There….
    thinking how Jenny touched them, took them down and set them. THINGS. THINGS from here, from so elsewhere too…how Old Cowboy’s mother’s chair. She bought. She, who wasn’t into buying things. But she bought them. In Colorado. There are two. She bought them. New. from a catalog. Maybe Penny’s. Montgomery Wards.

    ,,,so may things are dark right now..but this..oh…..i imagine smiles spreading…a greeting spreading around the globe as we see you penciled in..as we see the waiting chairs..something has movd through the yard and the motion sensor lights have gone on and i can see ..in a pool of light in the middle of the dark..the little plum tree whipping branches in the wind..and then suddenly totally still..i see where we pruned the mess of tangled branches from the bottom this year and i realize it is really no longer the little wild plum..it has grown..it is simply a plum tree now i think big enough to shape the plants beneath it..to make me reconsider the fate of the blueberry bushes. below…..it seems so apt ..nothing stays the same …no matter what we do…but how wonderful when the universe at large..or the arrival of a group of pictures can change the tenor of a day..bringing welcome..and an underlying sense.of yes
    gentle day grace

    Heart and mind ease, Sunny safely on the Hill and your welcome at Campsite B, chairs, bench tables is ready. First photo made me sigh because of the feathery looking grasses…and so I went ahead to Acuweather and looked at Winter Solstice for your new home and the days temp will be 51, the night 35 and I see you all, sitting on the chairs, the bench tables, looking up at the sky, the scent of pine all around, maybe a hooting owl, candle glow on each of your faces, bathed in the light of La Luna and it feels like a benediction of time and place and family and simply, love and home.

    This is SO beyond amazing..and yet, solid, as Travis and Everett predicted. You alone glowing in that drawing because Taz & Tay don’t project fears the way we do. Ease for you now, Sunny has paved the way! Huzzah!! I hope the Janet chairs get to make the journey and join the others.
