i could tell this two ways. One,  a very young praying mantis,  on the T Post in the middle of all of this,  a T  post that needed to  be removed,  Alyssia saw it.  Called…gramma!,   and yes.  Here in the midst of all the building commotion,  a young,  very young praying mantis.  How great.

Way two.  It won't GO.  it stays.  first on the T Post,  then to Alyssia's hand,  then on to my hand and up,  my shoulder where it sits.  Sits.  Looking.  SEEing Us.    We try a few times to shift it over to the tree branch,  it is wanting to stay…with us,  ON us.  But we move it.  To the Tree.  Asking it.  Please.  It is   Witness to our doing.  Deliberate and Aware.  Telling Us.  a Part of what is happening here.

    I guess so, if that’s what you want, you seem to be doing fine living in such a small space, personally I need walls and space for all my books and art and art making materials, Old Man Crow would do fine living in a hotel room but he’s a musician and things don’t mean that much to him!
