mid March

20230314_105215

"Severe Weather Patterns"   on display during the night and then into waking hours.    the relentless downpour,  the

WINDS,  threatening, really…. but i look,  as always first thing, at the weather app and at Today and then at the forecast….and the 7 days ahead…..,  these numbers.   which represent the percent chance of rain.   so….after today's 100

9   1   36   37    50   56

so…..to just make it through today.   I  "suit up" ,   ready to get Out There to feed at any slight let up  and did that.  coming in to sit and stare and listen to it all  and decided to try       to visualize  something different.   I got quiet and visualized in DETAIL  walking to B Garden…opening the gate,  going in and then on…what would i do?,  if i could?,    everything in the smallest detail.  This worked off and on and so i did it off and on and the Severe Weather Continued ON.

and then,   late,   there  was this.    Maybe.   Maybe we can move from this first time ever weather into something more familiar,  something more….Gentle?   Maybe.   For the next days at least it seems so.   I am so beyond ready.   Today was really really hard to stand and face.   it's been since December.

    Global Warming- this might be the new NORMAL…..here in Maine it is cold and snowing.
    that’s the way we get water. But I am thankful for any snow as we have drought here and we need water.
    My thoughts on the Climate of this Rock in the Universe we live on……make me sad and nervous.

    You have been through such difficult times in the last couple months. You are still standing — still able to do the chores, to teach Emrie & to learn from her, and to envision the beauty to come. I am inspired by your strength, Grace. Sending love & hugs –

    This picture. Hope rising. And that wink of blue beyond.
    You’ve been much on my mind.

    Oh, this golden picture. sigh.
    I see the sunflowers in the first pic and I imagine you and Emrie planting a Sunflower House, like in this book…

    I see you both inside, being held by the circle of sunflowers, circle of life.
    We had rain in the night and this morning…now some sun shining through. Hopefully, they’re saying none tomorrow. When we leave in the dark and the rain too…I told someone that it is hard, but we just do it. Do IT. What else can we all do, but IT? No rain right now, I will go walk.
    I (like all of us)think of you each day with love and concern. Your days have been harder lately. J. asks, “What can we do for her?” For now, I send love from us. xo

    Stand and face. That was a great way to put it all, Grace. I wanted to add ‘punch through it’, but it didn’t seem grace-full enough. Thank you for showing me that it’s enough to just Stand and Face.
