this morning.   in its own way,  so BeautyFull.    and its Own Way is really all there is.    wet  "air".    so much moisture.   i tried to feel what earth must feel like,  how the Rocks might feel,  the Trees,  trunks,  branches and leaves,  the myriad new green green plants that are in profusion Everywhere,  moss and lichen

and a lot of time was spent,  off and on,   Here.      There is some reason for the timing of this,  of  having gone down to the N Mex  Honda car…for the rug,   but immediately gathering these,  that had been there,  four years.  and also the old Birkenstocks,  impossible to wear anymore,  but possible to sit with.  and then,  i'll bury them at B Garden.  and the relatedness of all this to the surge of timekeeping,   time tracing  through blogs,   time,   timelines.  i like that phrase,   time tracing,  tracing time   and all the numbers that arise,  that even tho i'm not into that,  i can't help but notice that it's happening.    I left New Mex on December 9,  arrived December 10 on this Hill.   I see that written on the 2017 Butterfly Calendar which wasn't a butterfly calendar but an Astronomy calendar,  i don't remember why  

O

what if it's that i am supposed        to remember?   from now on,     What if it's that???????  remembering requires turning full attention.   Marking.   ????

so i will stay for however long with this Cloth and these stones.   Turn my attention.   Fully.

    the keeping of calendars and blogs … drawing and stitching and writing … the making of marks … just being and wanting to remember it all

    I like to sometimes check in on my past self through my blog and journals by looking up this same date in previous years. But I really like your reminder to bring full attention to something beloved right now.

    love your phrase ~ “bring full attention”! I may add yours to a phrase I use in my craft/fiber/art work and projects ~ the intensity of my intention(s)”. Time sort of stands still, while at the same time, goes swiftly flying by – sounds like a dichotomy perhaps, but maybe tis parallel concepts, worlds, or dimensions of astrophysics. beads – markers on a cord. Stations of a Rosary. Knots of a prayer bracelet. French knots on stitched cloths.

    Grace ~ the fog-mist photo of the tree … reminds me so much of the ethereal shafts of light that come through the canopy of very tall trees – exhilarating and goose-bumply. Or through clouds acting as prisms. They stop me in my tracks. those shafts of light, especially in mist, cause a favorite song ~ Suddenly There’s a Valley” ~ to run through my head. https://youtu.be/HcOwnwpaais
    Stones. Rocks. I love your love of stones. I have rocks/stones from nearly every place I’ve been or lived. I think of them as part of the ballast of my ship/boat through life. I sing The Gloria to your sentence: “stay for however long with this Cloth and these stones. Turn my attention. Fully.”
