this is a chicken rice cheese bean burrito from up at the people food table.  My across the field neighbor brought it to me.  it's got a lot of fresh cilantro in it.  Some chilis…it's hot, as in spicy.  I was planning on beginning to catch up in responding to comments tonight, was looking forward to that.  But there were a couple phone calls and now,  i'm tired.  Now,  i feel like i am finally back in my body.  Like i have been elsewhere for some Time.  So  am just going to go to sleep

since morning,  there are 24 new pens put in place and FILLED.  A large,  like large Black Llama.  Many sheep.,  one ram,  skinny but with such beautyFULL markings.  he stares back.  He is striped with greys.  I would call him Ash.

    just trying to breathe in that thick air must be exhausting. your body settling back, maybe just settling. absorbing all that you see and feel. hope the burrito was as good as it looks. rest easy! and stay warm. dream well! love to Tay as well (i was remembering when you were first wondering about her and how it would be with the two of you being together, how iffy it seemed. what a wonder-friend, quick witted companion she turned out to be!)

    You have been somewhere else for the past 9 or 10 days between your own family and all the others you have found yourself living with. You communicate with all beings and take them into your love. I imagine you must be exhausted. Sleep well. One day closer to being in the “new normal” at home. Love you.

    Yes, one update for all of us is enough. Write the comments you want to make in your journal for a post in the New Year. Rest. Eat. Sleep. I was telling the woman next to me (while getting my hair cut) about your days and the animals and we both began to cry…… and that is us —way East of you where it is snowing.

    It is close to 6:30 am here in New Mexico and I hope you have been able to get some rest. Totally agree with everyone in that your blog posts are the best comments but I also know that for you, the exchange is everything, so when you can, we are here.
    Stepped outside to watch the beginning of the day, gray, cold and cloudy and I think of you, in the fairgrounds, your sky gray not from clouds but from ash…so worried about the air quality for all of you. Do you have masks? Could you go to Alyssia’s or Jenny’s and shower, take some time for yourself, nap in a bed while they come to see how the goats, Talkie, etc. are doing?

Seems to me that at this moment you are right where you need to be .. paying it forward everyday by giving love and comfort to all those scared hurt animals.

    Yes, rest yourself as best you can. You have been under a lot of exhausting pressure. I hope you will soon be safely home with all people and animals relaxing back into their own space.
