Alyssia had brought a box from P.O.   We were so into the SunnyRay thing,  i didn't even look until so at the END of the day and it was beyond late for me.   I saw it was from Nancy.  Pomegranatetrail.blogspot and i guessed right.  Opening it i found 2 of the pod boats she has discovered as she witnesses and documents her Place on this planet.  These,  her Mar. 6 post.

i was exhausted,  but holding them….i reached behind me on Emrie's side of the Altar….set the boats a~sail.   Emrie's wizard and the small jade buddha,  their cohorts.    Such WONDER  full and perfect boats for gentle travel.

and then…this morning at first light,   the small jade buddha was Wildcrafting.

balm.  comfort.  solace.    of  gift and then Imagination.   Things that KEEP us.    Steady on the paths we find ourselves upon.  

 

Such hard things in the world right now.  But also,  such Love.   i wish for Ketanji Brown Jackson some kind of moment similar to sail her heart upon.   My HOPES are pinned on her robe tails.    She carries so many of us in her boat.  girls and women.   Who always have and always will take CARE of the

People.

    Cory Booker’s affirmations to KBJackson made me cry when I saw it on tv today. His face was so full of smiles and joy and love that you could see that the hatred that had been done to her begin to break, and the poison that had been spewed just started to flow away. Maize Heriomo (sp?) from Hawaii spoke with such respect and knowing of what KBJ was going through that it was not hard to see the bond between the two women. She is such a strong woman who I also hope is confirmed and welcomed onto the Supreme Court. We do need her.

    I love the little boats and the wildcrafting Buddha. It is important to notice what brings comfort and solace, it can be such small things.

    Was thinking about that term “Your Honor”. How I could really say it from my heart in this case. She will honor us all.
    (grace) May you live with ease again. And dear Sunny Ray.

    “… This is solace, not as a made up story we tell ourselves for false comfort, but as a deeper, broader, fiercer sense of presence, a way of paying attention, of being equal to and able for the losses involved in even the most average life, a way of asking ‘The beautiful Question.’ ” David Whyte
