yesterday i said lost in ……….how i become lost    in.       it's my nature.   to become lost in things.  Wholeheartedly lost.    until i become lost again.    and where i find myself now…..in this Present.   that in a certain way is made out of all that has passed.   having gotten lost in  wanting to "know",   in Buddhism,   and all that  "new age"  things brought,  and in DRAWING then the  MAKING  of the fiber figures/art dolls and then,   in Jude Hill's Spirit Cloth.   joyfully lost.  wholeheartedly lost.      and now in my 78th year,   i look at what i carry from all that,   what i've kept in my  knapsack.   and things continue to rise,  or,  re~rise….those being  through the work with Sharon Salzberg's teaching and most recently,  and,  surprisingly,   the return of Eckhart Tolle's teaching    all which  are centered in       the Now.       I think….what have i left undone?       Diorama.   the thing of diorama.   my love since grade school of diorama     and i thought this morning,   maybe that's what i'm doing…. the diorama is this Hill  and i am lost in the Life that i'm living?  sometimes joyously,  always wholeheartedly

these are the thoughts i can take to the Gathering at the Well
