only in this One Place.   This uhhhh,  This……gathering.  Good enough for the moment.  This gathering of boulders.   The only place on this Hill.   What happened?  that they broke loose and rolled and gathered?   

We,  Tay and I,  sat there long.   But not asking anything,  just sitting.   Being among.   Just a ways to the right are the fallen boughs of an Oak.  I thought it to be the entire tree,  but no,  just a large part of it.  I have no way to feel about that.  yet.  so i

don't go there….too close.  

it's the End of Summer.  Two Rains so far.  

at the End of this day went down to fill the Doe Goat Water.   Finished and across the way,  Nogal is at his fence.  Standing.  Go there and he is still.  His eyes.  He is still and i touch him,  caress him,  scratch around and under his horns,  down the side of his face,  under…chin,  his beard.  Back up,  his forehead,  around his eyes and i look into them,  his eyes,  he looks back into my eyes our eyes look at our eyes.   I touch his lips and he so so softly nibbles my fingers.   I reach in and scratch his neck and he stands so still.  Wanting.  When i asked.  When i asked the Plant People here…help.  Help me know how to live.  It included this.  How to make Buck Love part of the day.  I asked for Energy….so i could live how i need to live and this is part of it.  To go out.  Late.  Give love to a buck Goat who is so ready to receive.  He was such a baby,  once.  No longer.  But knows love.

It's all just so much,  this life.  I'll sleep with his scent on my hands.
