yet one more mystery,  compost volunteer

and so.

today is done.  Sunny,  the old Toyota truck is home.  the Hill home.  Not the desert home.    It was crucial that Sunny was good.  Is one of the trucks,  it takes two,  in case of evacuation.  Fire.  California.    To evacuate the Goats.  in case.  I have watched Self,  with that undercurrent of low level anxiety.  Nothing anyone might notice.  Just a quiet undercurrent,  but constant.  and i have worked with it.  Like the same kind of low level undercurrent of feelings about Tenzen's state of affairs.   I know that what IS, is.  I know that nothing is the end of the world.  I know that no amount of anxious energy will change anything.  Still,  tho  the undercurrent.  

and

the undercurrent of this HILL.  it's steep.  there is one "lane",  nothing on either side.  No room for error.

add that.

but Sunny was FIXED and running like NEW and we got back and i took a deep breath and remembered all i needed to remember and we drove UP the hill…only in second gear and kept coming steady up and up and we were HERE.  It's done.  It's over.  It happened.  All that anxiety,  for nothing.   

tonight i think about that.  All that anxiety for nothing.  All the anxiety over "what to do about Tenzen" for nothing.  Nothing.

it's just going.  I'd like to keep the knowing of that.  It's just going.    just going.

    I think I know about that undercurrent of anxiety. I know about mine for the planet and it’s needs, for my own little life with it’s daily challenges, but I don’t think of it as useless…more that it is just me working it out to find my comfort zone and settle into that. So much we can not control and yet, so much we can. Sending love.

    Relief shows us the places that were tight and worried. It’s
    hard to be unworried in these times. xo

    There’s that about machines. They can almost always be fixed.just a matter of cost. Lives are a whole different matter. So much more to living.

    Thanks for reminding me to breathe deep, calm my undercurrent from becoming a raging river. I tend to be an over thinker, but that creates back up plans laid in the deep recesses of my mind and somehow someway I make it through. Tenzen will guide Sonny, and I pray you never need him. PREPARED for the worst so the worst never comes.

    I remember Travis telling you it wasn’t a Hill, it was a mountain. And it seemed that way to him. I always feel safer when I know how I will get away.

    it’s just a Responsibility to be ready with the trucks.
    I am so glad for the Experience of it last year. We
    know so much more now and we also know it can be done.
    so it’s just the Doing of it, if the time comes again.
    and it’s one of the BIG things that i DON’T worry
    over. it’s interesting what we choose for worry and
    what we just accept as possibility or not…

    the situation here, positioning of this land offers
    many more good possibilities for Safe.
    i don’t think much at all about my own safety. That’s
    easy. You know ahead. It’s taking the Goats out
    that complicates it.
