Could not  "get through" last eve till   This morning about 11 a,   finally.   I thought about that…how bent i got because for two days i couldn't post photographs here.   Thought about how there are Wars,   Famine and Catastrophic Climate events and i am upset because i can't tap my way into Typepad.    

What follows is from  the online Chico State  Today.  Article by Andrew Staples   September 23,  2022.  Abbreviated and a little paraphrased:   "Ancestrial land in Butte County Canyon returned to Mechoopda Tribe.    93 acres along Butte Creek, more than a mile of creek frontage as well as habitat for many species of special status,  including the Western Pond Turtle and Yellow Legged Frog.   Butte Creek is critical salmon habitat and spawning grounds for the largest population of Central Valley Spring Run Chinook,  a state and federally threatened evolutionarily sigificant unit.    Ownership and management of the Butte Creek Ecological Preserve  (Chico State Enterprises)   has been returned to the Mechoopda Indian Tribe to manage, protect, restore and steward the land as it recovers from the Camp Fire of 2018. "    This restoration of the land was long in the making,  long before the Camp Fire.   The Mechoopda are First People.   

and i read this just the evening before i began this latest  square.    it  planted its  seed.    And  just this much.  The numbers are perfect.   7.      Five,   a scrap from Jude many years ago that i cut and put back together here….Salmon ladder…it has a small hole,   the ladder broken and fading.    Salmon  should not and do not need ladders.   1 ~ 4  Destruction of ancient Earth pattern and the  still ness after,  the survial of seed,   6….that number from The Count…All spirits Living and Dead….and then 7.   7  the plants rise again.    Seven.   it's really just enough.  Perfect.    Maybe when/if i make the quilt for my Self,  i'll stop at 7?  Or…think about where the next 5 take things……maybe the keeping going is what's needed?  Maybe 8 through 12 shelter  7?

this morning i suddenly thought i will get a tatoo for my birthday.     I looked up   tatoo on old skin.    maybe.   maybe i should just let it be a part of my morning ritual.   Rise,  pee,  set kettle on for tea,   write  Mycelium on my wrist?
