it is very clumsy….the Tree,  but it will be good.   It will be what needs to be here.  it's the Beginning of this Other Side.  The Now side.

the all day of Rain…a lot of just standing and looking at all the stitches from the First Life Side,  the New Mex side,  they are a kind of thread braille.  They are an active Remembering,  not memory,  but an active Remembering,  still alive,  still moving.  This side must move among them,  the  unselfconscious otherside marks.  Then   makes Now    possible.   

I think.   What needs to be portrayed here,  on the Now Side?   What are the core components of Now.   I looked at the Then side the other day and all the lizards there.    Thought about that on this rainy day,  lizards….how every day of Wall Garden,  i am in the company of lizards…right now,  mostly the plump dull brown ones with short tails that run along the top of the Wall,  doing that up/down exercise…like push ups…i told Alyssia i call them the military.   I think they have territory,  that i am seeing the same ones over and over because it is their territory.   There are 5 kinds of lizards,  a skink and then that salamander.   I remember talking with Wendy Golden Levett when i was feeling angst about leaving New Mex,  leaving the lizards.   Her kids used to read this blog.   and One boy told her to tell me to go.   That there would be lizards here.  I believed him and he said the truth.   There are so many….so…..from the Then Side,  Lizards came through.  one thing i know to begin.  Lizards.

    oh that wasn’t “mine” — that was some kinda Other headwind to keep us moving in the right direction as we go. sight unseen.
    eta: we have the same weather on this night. J. spread the compost with a bow rake and now this rain will help it merge a little before I go out to sift out roots and rocks from the bed and work the soil and compost together as I was taught.
    The garlic heads from kitchen garden are MAGNIFICENT! will plant next week or the following Monday while moon is in scorp or capricorn.
