i spent the whole day with Cloth.   I was    IN   Cloth.   All day.   I was not in my own mind.  I was in Cloth.  First the Moment with Lizard and then on,  into this one that has such an otherworldly quality,  a dream quality,  and i don't have any idea quality.  It was a little unsettling

and then,  when looking for a piece of sky,  i came upon this.   One of YOU will recognize it as yours.  Again,  i am so uhhhh,

bummed that all the cloths have gotten mixed with one another and i don't know who sent this?  I am so wishing i were better at keeping things,  but i'm not and it doesn't take away from the FACT that this is an extraordinary piece of botanical print.

here,  it's on a piece of silk noile that was dyed with the coyote bush.  It's green….not so much evident here,  but it is.  It's green,  the softest green,  green.

it was a day that felt like a dream.

we are thinking that Celia is pregnant.

we will call the vet.  she'll come.  confirm or deny.  One way or the other,  something is going on with Celia.  She is WIDE.  She is moving differently,  her legs stiffened against the slant of this world.  She is slow to get up from lying down.  It takes work.

there was a day that Alyssia remembers and she talked about then,  but we didn't give it credence.  She saw Celia,  backed up to Tenzen's fence.  She saw Tenzen,  his crippled front legs UP on the wires of his fence,  his  "pink" extending through.  She ran to get the camera but when she got back,  nothing was happening.  Goats just standing there.  But it only takes a moment.  Goats are quick.  

so we'll have the vet come.   just for reassurance of Celia's well being.  Goats kid in an obvious way.  First you see them "bag up",  their udder plumps.  Then,  they move away from the herd.   On the day,  they don't eat.  They  paw the ground.  At the moment of birth,  there is a LOUD bleat,  then more,  softer.  it's unmistakable.  Celia is 5.  never kidded.  Her mother Lucky Star has 4 kids.

    There is an eye in that cloth. If It was of my making I would have sent it to you–but I did not.
    That small square and the coyote cloth will be an amazing story. It just needs to find it’s way.

    Spirit rising but grounded in the wonder of the Hill; of course she has a bird on her head for she has called.Look at her stance, head uplifted, arms out, speaking in the non language of all the beings who reside with her, all who sense that here is a place of sanctuary. She reminds me so much of a wonderful statue that used to be out in front, in the courtyard of the cathedral of St. Francis in Santa Fe. The saint was depicted, tilted on one leg, arms turned into wings, as if dancing his love for all of the beings.
    And I have to say “azucar”; how sweet the possibility of a little one from Celia and Tenzen. Celia, my most beloved goat, named for Celia Cruz, the magnificent Salsa Queen whose catch phrase was “azucar”, the Spanish word for sugar. Celia began every show with this word and she loudly, colorfully and with the upmost joy lived her life in song and dance. So of course, I did a little salsa dance around my desk at this possibility and the thought of a tangible legacy from Tenzen.
