friend Bill back in N Mex had sent a box of fresh Green Chile a while ago.   Came Fed X.    a lot of it.   before i got to these,  they weren't as fresh so i have had them down here at B Garden,  drying.  for the seed.   Spent time at B,  not doing anything,  just being there.   The chilis took me to Liz's  trip to New Mexico…i'm not sure she's back?  or still there?   i looked at all her pics again (again again)  thought the words…..i love New Mexico….thought how i use that word a lot….love….as a verb…..so it started that way,  i love New Mexico….      What do i mean by that?   What exactly IS     i love New Mexico.    Yesterday i'd said  "how i can just Love as fully and as well as i can…."        i find it to be hard to stay with the question….what do i mean by that.    

so…Love.   it's maybe going to   (or maybe it was just today)  (don't know yet)  turn into some kind of life review of  People i have loved,  not loved,   Things and Places,   Experiences  and  Teachings,  specifics,  like Lizards.   Kinds of love    

and maybe it's part of the Earth Grief.

    I use the word “love” a lot, but casually, I think. Meaning a positive reaction. When I think about what it really means as a verb, my mind starts to fuzz up and go blank. Hmmm…

    that’s an interesting question….you didnt love everything, or did you?
    i ask it now…of my Self….
    there is a Thing. a time. an experience. that is closest to Hate as i have ever been. maybe it is Hate. don’t know much about Hate and don’t choose to go there to learn more
    but…i think….even that, gives me great understanding about love and it’s
    power

    Sometimes, ‘like’ is not enough. I like to think of the word love as being on a spectrum, kind of like colors are. And, a lot like shopping for the perfect pair of shoes-you know them when you see them. You ‘love’ them, a bunch more than you like them, but not more than you love your kids… You still recognize that it’s a special feeling. πŸ˜‰
