the little Wall Cloth  and the bigger one pulled together.   There was no more Vertical space so i  pinned horizontally and was startled by the Change.   I can't  "word" the change,  but it's good.   So, now….5 across.  Two more rows…10 but then two of the above i have claimed,  so  12.  Half way there.  It's all i want to do.  

i did the "little sleep"   thing and woke from that…20 minutes…confused.  The dream in those 20 minutes had been intense but unremembered except for the uneasiness.  I was unsure what part of the day it was….7:45 am….   First wake up was at 5:30 a.  Was on call today in case it took Alyssia longer at a Dr. appt.  in Sacremento and i would go pick up Emrie from school.   Today was the Verdict of  Parkland.  Was the  Jan. 6 Committee.    I would watch as much of both as i could.  

in the midst of all that was Trust Time.    which brought to mind Nancy's words   Pomegranate Trail  that had stayed with me these last days…"May you embrace the overwhelm"       i thought about the Grief and found self wondering  what could be a counter balance as i  embrace that overwhelm….and  just

love

came up.   love,  like the Biggest kind,  love of humanity,  love of this planet,  this solar system,  this Universe,  Eons of time,  all the multitudes of life forms that share this Earth,  all the phenomena,    ALL That i Know and then ALL THAT i know i don't know but Trust is There.     So…i am going to just Rest in this for a while.   Go back to  reading  Entangled Life.   Which is where the drawing at the top is from.

    Grace~ That drawing, so dandelion like to me. Make a wish!
    For me ’embracing the overwhelm’ is to recognize that Hard of that place, honor that…validate that…giving self permission to wallow a while in it, if that is what is needed…or whatever. Just to not see feeling overwhelmed as a bad, a negative, as something to be corrected or fixed…until it is time for that, then do that fixing. As in there is a time for everything and it is all a part of it and all okay. Perhaps you need to wallow a while until your feelings become clearer to you…or perhaps it is the living of the questions. xo
    “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
    ― Rainer Maria Rilke

    Overwhelmed .. that’s what I am by the beauty of your quilt. Yes they are no longer just random blocks. I’m dog sitting for a few day so was able to watch the hearings from start to finish with little interruption. The videos of Nancy P. and members was both parties was really something to see .. to see everyone on the same page .. we need help! I wish as a nation we could all get on the same page because We Need Help!!! Sending you gentle hugs and love ❤️
