before Alyssia left she set the hose to drip, to seep for the trees. On just one, but when i went down to do the Water for the Wall Garden, the tree watering was already ongoing. All i needed to do is to move that hose to the second tree, let it seep while i gave water to the wall garden. Which i did.
i then watered the as yet unplanted grape vine and moved over to the large Rock. I give that Rock water….for whatever reason maybe because it gives me a sense of something? But i give the Rock water and as i did there was a shrarp stinging sensation and i kicked my foot….there are sharp spines on some of the "weeds" there now… but something of the reptilian brain said, look….and i did and it was not at all a weed, but this. I have been stung before by wasps, back in the Other Place, the last time on my lip. This time i think 5 stings on the right ankle. As i write this there are hot sensations rising from that ankle, like hot sting things. There was Benedryl in the medicine cabinet. I took two.
Alyssia and i had spent the late afternoon talking about the State of Affairs of the World. We shared what we had learned, we shared how we need to learn more…daily. To be AWARE. To recognize reason to worry. In a way, to recognize the sting from a plant, from the sting of an aggressor. How to interpret that.
