Green Tara,  on the right wall.   in a frame.   The difference in the Sense of this place is surprisingly clear.  It's the

frame.

it changed Everything.   And now,  we are on that Edge of too much.   Nothing else can come In unless something goes Out.

reading again.   Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm   Stephen Harrod Buhner

"once  you come to understand,   in your experience, that you are just one life~form among many,  that you can meet the other life~forms  here in  moments of tremendous intimacy,  it enables one of the most wondrous of explorations possible.  To leave the human world behind,  the surface identity of the self,  and swim,  only one life~form among a multitude,  deep into the metaphysical background of  the world is to enter a place where we meet there as living beings,  identical in nature at the core,  similar intelligences,  all given birth by Earth,  all expressed out of the Ocean of Being into form.  And in those moments  of touch,  we look back at each other with luminous eyes and tell tales of the lives we have lived and the lands we have seen and speak of the commonalities of what it means to be alive on this Earth,  kin,  all of whom came from common ancestors long ago"

after waking this morning,  i lived OutSide.  I listened to Wind,  that came and went.  To Crow,  overhead,  3 times.  

i am washing my shirts in a bucket.  When i'm done,  i will wash my hair,  my body,  out there,  where Wind still moves.

Inside is one thing.  OutSide is way more.

    Looked for a long time at the cloths on the wall, at Green Tara and slowly in my minds eye, I saw Green Tara taken out of the frame, away from the shiny glass and put into the center of the 3rd cloth that you have pinned up, the large one. Green Tara framed by the many colored cloth scraps, the toad egg scraps, Green Tara over the eye cloth and it seemed to me that she found her home there on the cloth, became a part of the whole of inside while manifesting vibrations outwardly as well. From the little I know of Green Tara, she is a healing energy and those of us who work with cloth in whatever manner, often feel a sense of healing as well as strength from the connection of hand, heart and mind to cloth.
    OR maybe the cup of tea that I made after coming in from some early morning weeding was too strong and I’m projecting…maybe so but I know what I sense upon looking here…

    You are making what was temporary into what feels more permanent. Winter is coming.
    Today, here in Maine, is dark. Wet from overnight showers. Not rain. I would enjoy a good soaking rain.
    Each morning more acorns– mostly cap and not much else. They aren’t filling out. This means something but I don’t know what. Possibly that the squirrels who are building a huge nest in the tree next to the house-will go hungry,

    no, not projecting. All you say is true and right. But\and i need that Cloth to be just what it is. It is extremely important to me. Tara can wait. She will wait.
    She waits to be asked.

    THis morning I dashed out to buy cloth-moth killing supplies. Mowed the lawn. Sweat drying under the AC vent upstairs now. Such contrast. My one current place of wildness? My imagination. And now I’m off!

    So many times over the years you have caused me to think of home/space in a truly contemplative way. This time around I put a bookmark in that in order to simple harken back to NoCali experience without crying about it. Just simply relished the powerful nature of your ability to evoke it so strongly in my bones. When I absorb posts like this I feel like a tuning fork that hasn’t been struck in a really long time but then suddenly it is struck, over and over, in a relatively consistent way. Yet the tone it emits is crystal clear and, indeed, pitch perfect to my psychic heart and ear.
