the US postage for one yard is 3.78.     2 yards   4.53.   

one or two yards to Canada  10.50

one or two yards to UK    14.25

ok.

waiting for word  from  women in those countries.  Otherwise,  ready to respond directly in Emails.

and i spend much of the day with Tazmeena.  She doesn't want to drink water.   I think about my feelings.   I watch her and think that sometime in the not too distant future,  people will need to be watching me.  I will not want to drink.  It's how it goes.  I am well versed in that.  I think of how i wish people to feel who might be around me then and i practice that with Tazmeena….practice for myself.    Practice.

TenZen is still going.  Half the time he falls over and is stuck fallen over.  But you Right him and wait a few minutes and he can stand and eat and even walk some.  Not far but some.  His appetite is good.  His pleasure of  Sunlight is good.

Maybe Tazmeena will  recover some.  Maybe it's like a stroke and in some time,  will repair.  No way to know.  So,  i sit with her.  Pet her.  Think about the good life we have had for 20 some years.   Be glad for that.  and be soft with the Now.

    i like to imagine that we all unravel like a thin cloth and our form dissolves, loose threads left to weave something else.

    Yes, unraveling. Being woven into something new.

    Tazmeena, may it go as it will, gently but oh how it could be if this were only a stroke. You were always a grand cat when we visited, quiet around me, moving against Rich’s legs, his hand petting you head. On my camp out years ago in Polvadera, sleeping on the futon, grace’s soft white sheets folded around me, you were my watch cat, almost as if you were making sure that I was fine on the futo; a good memory to hold.

    The sad decline of our shorter-lived animal friends is a heart-opening way to connect with the ebb and flow of life and a reminder of our place in it. Our turn will come. Blessings to you, Tazmeena and TenZen…

    So sorry to hear about Tazmeena and TenZen’s decline. Dying with dignity is something I wish having seen recently something so not dignified. Not all of these matters are up to us, though.
