the tub,  labeled with masking tape…My Cloth.

at the storage unit place.  Cement and metal boxes that have a lock,  a garage type door.  All my stuff is in there.  What i wanted, needed,  is some black and some white floss.  So i can work to finish this cloth of Now.    It was in a drawer of the dresser that i hauled here.  The baskets of floss.  Two of them.  We got there, with at most 20 minutes to locate these and we did and it required that i climb,  literally,  over stuff .     While i was at it,  i took the Sweet Grass Braid that is Old…like, 30 years old and still…..still holds it's scent.  I took the recipe box.  Tucked these in,  to the tub of Cloths.   Then,  after this,  there were things to do.  Like the giving medicine  to Cinderella,  like feeding the Buck Goats,  like giving Water to the Wall Garden and the two trees and the three grape vines.  Giving water to the stump of the Hydrangea that the Goats had eaten to a nub.  Feed Puppy.  Tay.  make my bed for the night.  

tomorrow i'll look in that tub that says…..my cloths…on the masking tape label,

    Cloth coming home to the Hill, threads in baskets, nesting, waiting for your hands to delve among the strands, all signs of grounded Welcome; the kind of welcome that speaks of place, of story, of how just going becomes the next chapter…

    Looking at your cloths with different eyes will be interesting. All that is new, all that has come to pass, the you that holds it all like the baskets. Almost like going through the button box as a child. Treasures.

    Another full day in the life of my favorite pioneer! Loving thought for Cinderella. Glad to see the chock-full-of-gladness box. Much joy ahead.

    We had to keep most of our possessions in a storage unit for seven years, packed to the limit. How well I remember clambering over piles of stuff in search of that thing I needed. When we finally brought all our boxes home it was a real reunion….a combination of “how I’ve missed you!!” and “what did I ever see in her?”. I’m glad you found your cloth and thread. I hope it won’t be too long before all will be back in hand again.
