this is "my" Goat, Mercy. She and I, SheI, Us, and all of them, but right now, Mercy. Maybe the drawing tries to say it

Yes says it all… OF the goats! I think you are OF a lot of things, the lizards, the lands, the peoples you have crossed paths with and of course your family which is spread farther than the hill.

“being of”…and I thought of when the goats came, of Mercy so I went back in time, Feb. 201: You had a woman, Patricia and some of her interns, come to speak to you and share with you about goats; to offer some training. This is part of what you wrote:

Being “of”…so much to consider in the layers of this.
My best friend always said she was “pregnant ‘of’ – (insert child’s name, she has three). I always took note of the “of” and considered it and how was it different from being pregnant with?
Your drawing says so very much.
