    I seen to always be a day behind reading your posts .. it’s ok because I get to read the different responses and shared links. Tonight I have found much needed comfort here .. I am heading for bed feeling blessed. It has been an overwhelming weekend of heartache.

    we are holding Each Other UP as best we can, or, as best as we know how…keeping afloat,
    i go back to the comments, a “day behind”…it’s a good way.
    Where it was and where it is.
    I love you Tina, Tina, big. Sleep well and rise again to the
    new day.

    Earplugs and blindness is my solace living as I do directly across from the very active 13th Police Precinct in Manhattan. Buddha nature is solace and so too your post.

    Circle of rocks in front of our casita, all of them collected from one of my favorite New Mexico places, Jemez Springs and a few from up in Sandia Peak…before taking each, I asked and left a handful of the colorful Indian corn that I grow in exchange…
    This rock circle has come to mean so much to me, solace, even though I uprooted them, a place to hold and contain anger as in the ritual that I did with them when the Evil one visited our city of Rio Rancho…
    Rock colors range from golden umber to sienna to the striated colors of gray and clay. Each give me a story when I sit on the ground and place my hands on them.
    This morning I pruned my rosemary plant to take some sprigs for drying to use later in cooking and also to sprinkle some on top, in and around my rock circle…Rosemary for remembrance, never let us forget George Floyd and all who have died needlessly…

    the second image … an owl rock … holding wisdom … and beneath it, a rock holding lichen, two organisms joined in common cause, making their most unlikely way together …

    in our current human-driven landscape I’m finding that connecting to reliable forms of organic solace is a very necessary component of staying wise or at least somewhat balanced and relatively healthy…

    I remember climbing down into rock caves long ago. How the rocks
    held sounds as vibration in the dark damp.
    How it was like coming home. They are
    rooted sure as living plants. Longer, very slow stories closer to
    the bone.

    and all who have not died as George Floyd did, but died
    of Spirit. So many. Who have died of Spirit.

    closer to the bone…
    they ARE bone, aren’t they. Bones of Planet Earth
    yes…rock caves…yes…i know something of that, the
    vibration held there…echoing through millennium, the moist scent of Everything that has come before
