double clic as if you want to enlarge.  See if it comes up correctly oriented

LATE Evening:   Alyssia came…did as Typepad Team suggested….signed in incognito,  ect.  ,  and nada.  It is not a corrupt cookie.   I reported this to Typepad.   So,  waiting again.  

there's so much i want to Journal here.   it's been a week.    the first time ever in many years and i feeeeeeeeeel it……i miss the Telling of the day

and maybe particularly because this is the tail end of the 77th year…important days   and i also miss very much the companionship of the sharing.   Without the daily Telling,   it is very solitary here.

the image above began as a single curved line.   As i read the Book,  i would continue to keep the pencil moving,  just moving. There was ZERO thought about what might come of that…no intention at all….   just marks next to marks  and at the end of the afternoon i had this.   Looking….Looking…..Looking and  finally realizing i was seeing the OWL that had come two nights in a row….a large owl.    Reading about BRAIN     the Thing of a Biological Brain,   and experiencing here how this Brain that is substance inside my skull had partnered with my hand

I absolutely LOVE all this

and then Mind came in.   Mind said things about Owl.   how they are more than themselves,  are the night,  the forest,  the whole of time,  of life and death,  are bird,  flight,  vision,  talon,  sound,  language,  secret,  weight,  impact,  sharp,  dense,  and on

i want to try to talk about it here.    The images sideways  are difficult…they feel so uncomfortable….even if we can click them right….i don't know what to do

    Yes she is orienting correctly: Her eye disguised to look like a knothole of a tree but she is not a tree, she is a vortex, waiting, shedding a few lines, dots, gathering her energy…

    Keep on doing…when you are drawing, I’m sure it is correct so just let us click to make it so here. One other thing, the exchange of daily posting, even if you cannot post a drawing, a photo, your words hold and tell so much that you can keep it going and we can imagine… to read these words below, are a perfect example of what I am saying…to read them is to go in deep in understanding the majesty of OWL, these words are so alive:

    I agree with Mari, just write if you can post. Typepad has been a little weird for me too this week.

    Once I was away from the machine and wanted to have a say. Long hand, cursive, I caught the thought and then, posted a picture of it.
    I’ll be doing it more. Trying to uncouple from the machines a bit.

    This might not be what you want to read–but I come for your words and thoughts and not so much (at all) for the image.

    i don’t know about saving…it may not be possible.
    We will just hope it all works out.
    I’d hoped Typepad and i might have the same
