i'd wanted to write a long and complicated post tonight.   Had been awakened before First Light by startled Goats at the door and it went from there…. still being held by the Dream,  needing to be Present,  as in  HERE,   and soon a realization of just how much of my life takes place through the 3×6 screen of the phone.   All were Tangled.  I couldn't get loose,  couldn't seperate them and i thought Uh~Oh…..

but here,  at the end of an  amazing day,  just this….written on a shopping bag yesterday.  Push pinned to the wall .  Enough of a Marker  for all of it.   and to say

i was 

shown

the tail,  the fast flashing streak of fluorescent blue tail of a juvenile skink.  Again.   just outside the door.

i am grateful for this day.

    Yesterday, for me, it was the sound of the cottonwood trees on my lunch break. A slight breeze and they were singing.

    I was sitting under the umbrella on the deck garden with cat Bailey on the dye table. A palmetto bug skittered across the boards, a young blue-tail skink hot on its trail. The cat and I froze and let the lizard grab his snack and scurry into the planter.

    Dear Grace!
    It’s been years since I sent you a message! Today I’ve felt like saying hello to you , with tears in my eyes.
    You are always so full of life! All aspects of life with the real taste of what it is to be alive with all the dangers and joys of it ! Today I finished my working life in this part of the world.
    There will be more , elsewhere !
    Now, at age 80 I can see that I need to care for my days too: each day, each night.
    Now I can look after my self, after looking after others and also my younger sister who left us recently, went “up there, somewhere” almost 4 months ago. She is still here, in my heart too.
    I’m not finished. I still have other big jobs to complete . The summer gives me the inspiration to go there, where I must , to finish them, to face the journey, the chaos and perhaps the relief !
    I need to say thank you to you because I believe the depth of your words reveals to me that you have been living your true life. You have placed your words ( and pictures) on the screen and you have also placed them on my heart. I believe you! You reveal to me the company of the living.
    I respect your living your Life, your Love(s) and your Truth. You’ve encouraged me to live mine!
    So glad we’ve met. Here, in this world. Far away and yet so near! Thank you!
    Much, much Love! Always!
