we tarped the roof. took apart the water pressure thingy on the outside where the water enters the pipes. I had planned to not mention either for at least a while… probably not a good idea….but…..seemed just too much. But for reasons, i did and that's how this day got "spent". I was glad that i have decided to begin each day with Mary Oliver. This book, a collection, has been on the dashboard of the vehicle…that library there, for Evac. Brought it In and now, the plan is one every morning. To begin the day. And i am carrying the Carnelian again. and for whatever reason, the small shell.
This Morning
This morning the redbirds' eggs have hatched and already the chicks are chirping for food. They don't know where it's coming from, they just keep shouting, "More! More!" As to anything else, they haven't had a single thought. Their eyes haven't yet opened, they know nothing about the sky that's waiting. Or the thousands, the millions of trees. They don't even know they have wings.
and just like that, like a simple neighborhood event, a miracle is taking place.
