i also went to Alyssia's to get the new laptop.   The one here finally simply could not go further.   It had been failing for a while.  Alyssia had gotten a replacement that had  waited.   

We sat on the driveway of the Yellow House as she did the necessary things to transfer to the new one.   Emrie was patient.    Then….the package from Margery.   I'd brought a handful of carrots from B Garden for Emrie.  the largest maybe close to the size of a walnut,  smallest pea size.  but  all,  fragrant and alive.    And here She was,  Old Oak    and Emrie put one of the carrots into her mouth so she could taste it.    it had been a long journey in the box.

On the hanging cloth wall,   She and i are face to face.   Today we made up songs and touched the Earth in love and honor of the Beloved Ticht Nacht Han  

There is GREAT WIND tonight.

    Oh my Grace. She will be a good friend to you both…and a good holder and teller of stories. The conversations will be as rich as the earth coloring of Old Oak. Simply wonderful.

    One of Ticht Nacht Han’s quotes has always stayed with me and it so fits here and it so fits with how he lived his life:
    “Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet,” he wrote in Peace Is Every Step: The Path”

    I love that Old Oak is getting to meet people and taste carrots, sing songs and join in ceremonies. The world seems to be new at every moment.

    After reading your last post here I reached out to Margery myself and can’t believe that the mask Ember Dreaming Flame was still available to fly to a new home. It would have been my first choice reminding me right away of The Volcano Goddess Pele. I have always been fascinated at the way art speaks to one’s inner most senses .. the fact that you Grace got spoken to by Old Oak and Marti spoken to by Forest Who Sings. Each piece so perfectly fit .. how could we all have been so blessed.
