i could go look for how others have made Night and stars…with just pencil…..but i'm not.  i'm trying to do that with just the sense of how it is Here…at midnight….the uhhhh,  Roundness   of it.    

and i am thinking.   Summer is my most loved season.   and this is the Summer of this 77th year i'm living.   The one i have been waiting for.   What want's to change,  can.    And i can't know  what  AnyThing   is like     if i don't let it.   

i got up at this moment and went Out into the Night….there was a sound…..and it is just so extremely Beauty FULL…it's cool and easy and gentle,  Soft.  Thick.   With wisps of thin and delicate,  like ribbons  woven through  and partly this is because of the Extreme of the day that at 10 something hasn't left,    lifted,      risen up,  from this Earth.   These are things i want to notice,  and then  take however much time it needs,       to know.

    I learn a lot from you. Today a large insect appeared on my arm when I was picking berries. I brushed it off immediately. I barely had time to notice it was a praying mantis! I wish I would have been slower and taken time to get to know it better. Then I read your blog post on the same topic…reinforcement.

    I try to picture in my mind the words you put here. I know of the warm nights very well…and the smell of that, the smell of the early morning when it is warming, but not hot…still a bit cool and you can smell all of the CA scrub brush…one of my favorite things ever. The stars, I want more time with them. I’m so glad that coming to CA gave you all of this, what you mention here and in other posts about family. I’m so glad coming here gave you so much. xo

    i learn from you. reciprocity.
    we go, in solidarity, toward some kind of Wholeness
    Us..the Mantis’
    isn’t it as if they are curious about us?…wanting
    to know us?

    it did. Coming here. has given me more than i’d ever
    imagined. More than i imagine even now. The connection to
    them…these “children”…same as the connection to this
    Earth that is deeper, the connection to this “sky” that is more Vast….yes. coming here. made it Happen.
