She has been squat. Compact. and then, two days ago she began to change, just looking different, day 1. Day 2, suddenly Tall. She has begun a vertical life…stems are changing into stalks that i am sure will become branches of her Bushness.

Thanks for another podcast recommendation. I did listen to Stephen Jenkins and to the Vietnamese-American writer whose name I don’t remember this second. Both were excellent.

I DID love him. The hour left me with lots to ponder. I’ve thought about how trauma is stored in the body for many decades but not with respect to race. I am curious in an impatient sort of way to understand better what he means about the necessity of whites to build culture. It’s easy to see that Strategies/policies are too cerebral to Hold it all. But how do we build the kind of culture that can hold it all?

just starting back where i left of when realizing i needed to be quiet for a certain level of integration process. The hydrangea is meaningful. It has its own unique story in the hill’s history. The dual color wave frequency is outstanding as well.

also coming back later to say I had a nap that threw night sleeping off so got up to listen to this podcast. So much insight came from listening quietly in the middle of the night! The discussion really illuminated why I’m responding to the ongoing deterioration of humanity in a very physical way. And the specific manifestation being all about muscular disarray and general body inflammation. Have been only tracking that at a periphery level but now am thinking all autoimmune issues are at some level a body turned “to being at war on itself” as western medicine likes to put it. But really for me it’s about straddling the two canoes of race. And having far too little information about one of the canoes – and far too much info about the other which never sticks because it can’t. It should be as non-applicable as it feels.
okay. this is fairly huge. one of those connecting puzzle pieces that drops out of nowhere once we give up the ongoing intention/expectation of finding it.LikeLike

it’s all huge right now.
