when did it get lost?   Did it?   Why don't i know?   Why hadn't i noticed and at least wondered?   ??????????????????????????????????

Here.   this Hill.   arriving into a Magical Place.   From a Place of Love,  but simplicity.   a small life  with    the backdrop  of the Rim of the World.   Here,  such Beauty and so   FULL.    ?????   

Thoughts flow and threads move out,  following a pulse that draws them,  connecting.   calls the connecting.   CatherinE   gives the pulse ….of the podcast   Between the Covers   Tin House   Crafting with Ursula   Adrienne Maree Brown on Social Justice and Science Fiction.   where she talks about Imagination…and i suddenly see so many things.   There is this

Opening

i have no idea what all this is i am trying to think…but it IS and there is this 

Opening

 drawing is from 2017,  a month before i left to come here

overnight,  the Malabar GREW     2 inches

Jenny and her man came.  The Goat Boat is reconfigured.  We are

Ready,  or,  more Ready than ever before.   

One more day of 100 something and then back…back into the balmy 90's.

    How different temp wise here, in this moment than where you are. For New Mexico, it is strange, this less than 75 degree temp yesterday and today. Light just peeking from the sky, softly raining again today; had windows and front door open all day yesterday, the first time in this place as it never got over 71.
    Outside, my “greens” spinach, Swiss chard, assorted lettuce and basil, seem to have grown several inches overnight. Daily breakfast appetizer now is a cherry tomato and some raw spinach or red oak lettuce leaves, sometimes small Swiss chard leaves,the pop of a basil leaf as well as the licorice taste of a few Thai basil leaves, even love nasturtium leaves- “watercress” taste… I call them my garden breakfast vitamins.
    And malabar spinach is so very nutritious: did some research:
    “The leaves are a good source of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium and iron, with many other vitamins and minerals in lower quantities. It has over 3 times more vitamin C than spinach, and over 1.5 times more vitamin A than kale…Malabar spinach leaves have a mild taste with subtle peppery, citrus notes. Their texture is similar to chard, with a spongey, slightly stiff feel to them. They are juicy and tender when raw, but once cooked the leaves look and taste a lot like regular spinach.”

    You listened to the podcast! I should listen again, so many ideas I couldn’t absorb most of them the first time. Very much leading to opening and imagination.

    21 days of triple digit heat in Texas this month … fortunately, we missed most of it, but surely there is more to come
    for now it is finally raining, but Covid has robbed me of the ability to catch the scent of it … if only there was a way to hitch a ride on your kite … to fly above the cares of this world

    to some of it….it is so FULL…will go back…again and
    again
    i was startled by how much it is a HOME to me, for me, this kind of
    science fiction how it is envisioning, imagining and so
    calling into the Real

    the price you paid…covid…smell
    what i would dread…loss of smell/taste. I barely
    exist, weight wise, substance wise.
    i eat because of a lusting for TASTE
    and if i could not taste…????
    there is so little of me
    your trip was Grand….your blog…..your state is
    awful.
