the old rusted cast iron.  

Langer:  the close to irresistible urge to give Words,   to contain with words,   the amount of words it takes to

not

give things words……..

the Thing still of the SunFlowers.   that "statement" of Theirs…NOT coming from my mind or somehow inspired by it,   but truly separate from me.   coming from  Other.  Of Them.  and not in   

words

words take time.  a sentence takes time.     Why aren't we enough?      at least 4 seconds?…but how it was was  immediate,  the whole thing,  a flash.   an Impression?    Is this how Goats think?,  animals think?  instantaneous impressions of ?   How do brains experience without words?   

i can not find an answer,  ie: understand and "come up " with an answer…it's not possible for what  this  Is.

it's just living it.  a Happening.   and when it Happens,  take it in.    It comes as an experience,  which Happens when things are

"aligned"? ??      HAPPENS  is the Key.   and again,

What if   It    is there all along and i missed it,  KEEP missing IT…It being,     the chance of a lifetime.  

 

 

late.  Dusk.  time is tilting in.    finished giving water and went up to where Bill's father Lee's old chair is,  all the things that are there ,   to get the tall enamel pot and it…..Still Had Sludge In It….this would be from 2018….

before thinking,  i poured it out………..i wish i hadn't….what kind of WHAT might have been in there???????

    Words: The need to use them, to describe, to understand, to name things, to question, to use in conversation, especially to use to write as well as to orally tell stories for I come from al long line of story tellers on both sides of my family but especially from the matriarchal side.
    I think of growing up with words, a quiet Father, a loquacious Mother and how words came to me simultaneously in two languages but how now, I no longer think in two languages, except for those times when events and emotions cause a spill over, whether in joy or anger, and I find that both languages are needed…
    Enamel pot with sludge; just the word sludge made me happy as I recall my enamel pot with walnut sludge and a whole lot of what I would call my dye soup, where everything and anything that could possibly give me color or markings went into the pot! You will make new sludge, especially if you are able to get those walnuts that you mentioned. I am on the hunt for a walnut tree, think there is one in Corrales but the conditions are much like yours, on a busy street, the only street that runs through the town but I will go later in September and see…

    My old garage crock pot is full of walnut sludge. Aging? I will open the lid and give it some water- wish I had collected rain water today but perhaps I will use the birdbath water and give the birds fresh water. Seems like a plan…..and then add cloth. Not that I LIKE the dirty brown of walnut cloth- but perhaps if I use colored cloth I will get something unexpected…….. in the combination of color and walnut brown.
    I think the walnuts came from you- years ago??? Or from Boston. No walnut trees in Maine.
