when Alyssia and Emrie were leaving yesterday,   they backed up down a ways on Carefree Way,   just looking.   Checking the fence.   She messaged me….LOOK!     We don't know what this Flower Being is.   The blooms are at the top of a 3ft straight stalk.  Long slender leaves rise from the base of that stalk.   I looked in the  Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada.  not there.  We have not seen them before,  but that doesn't necessarily mean they haven't been there.   Maybe we just never have walked down there at this particular time of year when they are blooming?   The plant, leaves,  they rise from is similar to the Soap Root plant.  Seeing this makes me Beyond Happy.   is a true Gift during these days and energizes my spirit and heart.   Earth.   I looked and took these pics as i was heading out for town.   I'll go back tomorrow and look closer,  spend some time.  see if there is more that might help identify them.

on the lower left of the Other Side.    The Gate yesterday…also on the lower left.   i think WAY back…to the NLP training i took,  remember NLP eye accessing….down to lower left….visceral.   Have not thought about that in so so many years

maybe this?    the Cloth that helped me understand Evolution….radical change.   That things must come apart,  things that have been static that no longer serve.   to evolve,  free,  they must come apart.   at some point,  the momentum of that will turn,  and new form will occur.   but the dissolution is necessary.  

the grocery.  Post Office Box Lobby.   BACK HOME.  like a boomerang.   Gloves.  Hand Sanitizer.  No mask.   Few people wearing masks.   some.  not many.  and not many gloves.   there are barriers now to protect cashiers.  Even at the local Lakeside. Theirs with 2x4s and plexiglass.   The shops "downtown" by the Post Office….all closed.  Very few  streetpeople even.  Where are they?  I get my Tea brand at Raley's,  a kind of upscale grocery.  No hand sanitizer at the door.  ZERO paper products.   Zero California local Lundberg Basmati Rice.   2 or 3 of the usual MANY kinds of dry beans and lentils.   

there is a WORLD of difference between  the flower Being along the road and the "marketplace".   There is nothing in common.  The FEEL,   nothing in common.   late in the afternoon i gave water and attended to the Feeling of that.   Attended to the spontaneous joyfullness of the Plant Beings.   I told them,  how i went into the world of a      virus      .   I told them how much i want to continue living.   Didn't go any further.   just that.  

i forgot to give Talkie her meal worms….because the location of the evening feeding routine has changed.  And needing to give water in the Curry House.   So she had given up and gone off,  but remembering,  i called her…yelling out her name and there she came…RUNNING as fast as her chicken legs could go….running running up the road to the sound of her name….how there is so much to love about that…that a chicken can be Far Away but being called,  will come.  as fast as she possibly can.  from a long distance.

    This is another name for them if you choose to use it. Hope is such an important necessity to get through.

    i love that the older big cloth might hold newer days. That new things might find safety and be held there.
    I am considering a few chickens.

    I can’t stop thinking about Alyssia. I had a similar medical issue, and Plaquenil was the only Rx that helped. It doesn’t make sense not to, at least, give her 50% of her Rx. Stress makes everything worse.
    I hope there are herbs that will help. I know you and some of your friends know much that might help. Might I suggest Bowen Therapy? If you need anything that you’re not able to find locally, please let me know.

    i find it so cool how birds will bond with people. I had a golden-crown conure at one time who loved to come over and see what I was eating and take a bite or two. He loved macaroni and cheese and peanut butter cookies and always insisted on drinking out of your glass–only 3 sips.
    And birds like other pets do get irritated when you don’t do something when they are expecting it!
    Queen Fabiola Lily sounds so exotic but find it interesting that the bulb is edible.

    Saturday now…it’s Happening
    chickens. It is really beyond GREAT that everyday, there
    is FOOD. That egg. it can be so many things. And they
    love giving them…or….don’t think twice about it…
    a no big deal to them, but there it is.
    Always, when i think i’m out of food….i scramble an egg
    add spices, stir fry with day old rice,
    i added Miners Lettuce the other day….FOOOOOOOOOD.
    and they are
    FUNNY. and snotty and SINCERE beings, they are everything.

    The story of Talkie made me laugh! Felt good.
    I’m enjoying my 3 ducks more now the 2 boys have been rehomed. Turtle, Gilda and Hawthorn get sooo excited by worms, water, bugs. They are such great entertainment. Three eggs a day now. Makes me feel lucky.
