looking for How to Live these Extreme days. The hardest part really, seems to be the restlessness that cannot be eased. DOING is not an option….as in going about on foot doing. Mid Day you just sit through it. Goats, Tay, Puppie and Talkie hunker down. Birds do not fly overhead. There is reading but sitting OutSide at the Umbrella Table, the Umbrella just a thin membrane that lessens glare but does not lesson the effect of SUN overhead. Reading hasn't worked. I wish it did.
i thought about what i never take time for and thought….Color…my thing about Colors….how i am so attached to some so in avoidance of others…so….Color. Brought out the Inktense Box. 72 Colors. and just started with one mark of one color. and On. no image in mind, no image appearing. just marks of different colors, and i looked at all 72, so many seeming redundant and chose ones that i normally wouldn't , just to find out how it FELT to put them on the page. That would be the first pic. Which i didn't like at all. it didn't FEEL good. so i added color on top of color to see what happened. Pic 2. Still….NO.
Pic 3, i used graphite, as an overlay. I like the grainyness that happened, the mutedness, the blurr. This one i can Be with. and the three of them….tomorrow i can look more and continue. And …..This is a Way….How to be with times like these. To do things i ordinarily would not, that require attention that i'm not comfortable with.
Tomorrow and the Next Day to go.
then….down to hover around the now Bless~ed 90's.
Journal journal.
Mid day, there is a calling out…Goat…calling out and thinking someone had gotten themSelves stuck somehow, i went
to find that Arctica was in Nogal's catch pen….he is there with her, sniffing her politely as he would, being a Gentleman, her yelling, not really, yelling, somewhere between calling and yelling, but vocalizing a wish for Help and if this were not enough, looking on down the way,
there in Jack Flash's catch pen IS Oona, Caroline, Black and Minion! !!!!!!! ???????
How did all this happen? The gates are secure. ?????? What????
so i let all those out who needed to be Out and resecured gates. They had drank up all Flash's water…filled that. Stood there in wonder. Ok then. Said i'd go walk the fencing this evening when it cooled off. But it didn't and i didn't. We'll see tomorrow.
