it might be that "real" Rain Season has begun.  The kind of Rain that does not stop.  Is continuous,  hours and hours on end.  The wonder full weather app on my phone marks the passing of the days/nights in 3 hour increments..not only giving temperature but also % chance of rain.   It is almost always correct.  Why this matters so much is that i can know when is most likely to allow some small windows for feeding the Goats.   

over the weekend i listened to the On Being conversation with Mary Catherine Bateson,  Living as an Improvisational Art.  It was first aired in 2015 and as i listened,  i remembered listening then.  But also heard it now as if for the first time.   Her last thoughts:  "that we can learn to see ourselves in proportion and realize that we're small and temporary and don't understand as much as we need to.  And we live in a time of real urgency,  where we have to mine the insights of the past.  I guess one way of saying it is,  we have to learn to use the word  "we"  to include all of life on earth.  We have to learn to experience that as a terrible and tender beauty and shape everything we do to protect it."

days of Rain allows for hours and hours of being Inside Yourself.   It's wet in here.   Not rain wet but humidity wet.  Paper is moist.   Cloth.   The air.     The space is so small.    I wipe the window off and on so i can watch the Trees.  They stand and Receive.   it's so still.  so Holy.
