just because i like doing them.

so where did all the pics go?    i'll give it another day or two then if they don't just reappear,  will send a Help Ticket to Typepad.  and all in keeping with How It IS,   the continuing over 100 degree temps…like,  104,  after tomorrow again it will descend into the balmy 90's.   and Circumstances.   My loveGoat,  Mercy,  suddenly sick,  very ,   but then returning to standing,  but all the signs are there of a Goat preparing to leave this plane.     My grandson Jeff whose wife T died some months ago…two kids…he and Brinley living with Alyssia since…went to Michigan to visit his father and his grandfather,  my X,  my kids father,   and returned last Sunday  this eve test positive for Covid,  he and Brinley

and Emrie,  testing weak,  maybe cause she just got it?  Maybe cause she got her first vaccination?   but….Emrie.  Positive.

Alyssia and Julian negative.  so far.

i am hardline.   He knew i think you can love people WELL at a distance,  that you weigh the risks…..he lives with Alyssia because of need….Alyssia is heavy immunocompromised,   he is cavalier about masking in general …."Jeez,  Gramz" with his beautyfull bright smile….yeah,   Jeez.   and so.  To all of Us who are faced with decision…..i have no qualms about continuing the protocols.  it's a small price to pay.    there was the thing i read….an interview with someone "who should know",  i forget who,  but he said that he would guarantee….on any plane flight….at least one person has Covid.  Wear a mask.   Try.

there still,   always,  is risk.   There still,  always is opportunity to Trust.    I wanted to tell the Image that appeared in Trust Time on Thursday…it was at the end but suddenly,  a vision of a beauty full Garden….by garden…the kind i identify as a european garden…wild but not.  Ancient  Trees and blossoming shrubs,  stone walls and moss,  flowers of all kinds,  paths soft as if made for  a bare foot   

and We were All there…all of Us who come here.   some of Us sitting,  some standing,  some resting against  stone wall,  some lying at rest  upon   this Earth….and it was silent   and We were Together,  but each uhhhhhh,  each in our own Reverie…our own aura of space…those auras touching but honoring the space       It was very Tender.    So i thank you All for being this to me,  FOR me   this Gathering.  Thank You.  and Love and Love

    Oh Grace.. it is once again ..a sea change I see in myself.. not to simply be full of love and worry. But to know there is such an undercurrent of anger as I read your post.. an equal measure of feelings I do not seem to be able to name..they extend so far and deep.. may they be touched lightly.. Emmaline and Leland had very light cases.. and I so wish that for all you live and hold dear..how do they feel?
    Yes the word cavalier..it is so perfect.. we had made our world so much smaller than it even was when we were in the time of much sheltering in place.. and in all honesty I usually love this small world so much anyway that it is certainly not something that creates too many changes anyway.. I thought ..I thought.. but now that Covid has turned this small world so upside down for me..the word cavalier.. touched something elemental.. the considerations are really small..the considerations can change peoples lives.. I hope Alyssa is getting all the rest and care she needs. .. the Emrie is back in school quickly.. that you are untouched physically by this mysterious virus.. Emmaline is here.. the first sleepover of the summer… we will find special offering for our morning altar and send them through space. ..much love from an old woman and a little girl Across thousands of miles..across the intimacy of this space. ..to you with strong thoughts and much love .. gentle day grace

    I’m still doing trust time, wanted to tell you that. I’m grateful to be part of your vision. So sorry to hear Covid struck your family. I am going away for a week Aug 24-31 in Mexico (long story) on a PLANE and I don’t want to…will be masking.

    cavalier … exactly the right word … to which I would add brazen … and I sigh, because it’s done and too late to remedy … hoping that Alyssia comes through okay, because it’s virtually impossible to avoid within one’s own household (in my personal experience) … and never will I ever fly without a mask again, in hopes of avoiding all the other viruses I’ve contracted over years of flying, let alone Covid
    I love the draping of Deb’s threads, which has me thinking of Hazel’s portals … may cloth see you through

    I am with you regarding covid and i am with you all at Trust time. Surprised when I read your Trust vision, as the first thoughts of mine at that time was that I was trusting my Energy to reach out to all.

    Oh darn. So thoughtless. I hope all will be well, good, strong! I believe the vaccines really help keep it to a more mild illness, at least it did for me. 🤞 Fingers crossed may this be so for all of you.
    Your Trust Time image is so beauty-full! Wouldn’t that be lovely? Together in a wonderful garden?!! I like thinking about how your TT comes in an image…Peggy’s came in feelings/thoughts reaching out…and mine came (comes) in words of considering. I will think about this. Can’t wait till next Thursday!
    Big Love to you all.

    P.S. Don went to pick up some eggs and yogurt at the food store … he said he and one other person were the only ones masked

    here, the anger is no undercurrent. It sails.
    I have no qualms speaking it. He has no right. This is
    his sister that he is relying on so much, who “mothers”
    his children during these days. Not her choice. I am angry. period.
    but beyond him, there is no use for anything but the
    most Best Just Going….to again have the sleep overs. To
    honor the Alter Beings.
    all is so requiring the Best we can give…
    and so much, gentle day to you, Cynthia…your man,
    Emmaline and Leland and their people. gentle day to Us.
