"May you see what is there in front of you.

May you imagine what could be.

May you have the patience to wait for more."

Giving water at B Garden is now an entirely MORE thing.    What all is receiving this water?    How has that changed Everything there since i came to this Hill?   How do the entities of the earth there experience me?,  what i do?    What all have they had to do to accommodate my presence?   Is it beneficial for them?   or not?   

i put some of the spent mushrooms,  the "fruit" ,  to sit 2 days in that malabar cloth….no simmer,  just wet cloth.   They gave brown.   again,  more of the color of this earth.  and there were,  uhhhh, lines.  I wish i had left it longer.   a small piece,  3 X 4

    the warm brown with folds like fissures … I think of soil cracking under the stress of drought

    It’s been said that it’s more important to find to the right questions than the right answers. Thank you for speaking these urgent questions, reminding all of us….

    Just checked my inbox & found this poem by Rumi. I thought of your words: “what is there in front of you.”
    “Secretly we spoke,
    That wise one and me.
    I said, Tell me the secrets of the world.
    He said, Sh…Let silence
    Tell you the secrets of the world.”
    by Rumi

    Ooh…that ‘shape’…a bug, an eye…
    And when I double click I can see some green in there. I took my bundles out, but have yet to unbundle them. They look fairly brown.
    I have been reading my Rumi book. He sure does have thought provoking things to say about Questions. xo

    😢 I can’t see any of your pictures, even when I try to open them in another tab.😢 I can still see people’s name icons, even yours. The link to the shop works, but no picture. All the pictures in the shop, except the first one, show just fine. I didn’t realize until now how picture dependent your words often are.

    Yay! pictures are back!
    I think when we consider Earth as our mother, Gaia, and treat her accordingly, our impact is mainly beneficial. But nature itself is not always beneficial. Watching lions on tv, I thought “why do they have to kill?” But they must have meat to survive. And elephants, thought they don’t generally kill, need so much of their nutrient poor food that sometimes, when food is scarce, their destruction can take years to recover.
    The mushroom spot looks like a bulb with a few roots sprouting. Or maybe an upside-down flower. Until I zoom in. Then I see a huddled mouse.
