how we use the metaphor of the Thread

am still with Marti's Telling…..it has a pulse      that   animates the Thread.           How reading HER  life,   i was left standing,  wondering,     Where Was       my      Aspiration?      What      Was   it?       OR      did i just not have any?     At first thinking that was true,   that i was Aspirationless.     O.     o.       

but then….the Thread began to    uhhhh,   flash,   just softly.   I thought about Deb Lacativa's Threads that live in a basked here on this table today,   their 3 strandedness….seperated….is strong enough to hold anything.  Their multi color changes that enliven everything.   

and it became Clear.    The Thread  went Here.,   1973   but….oh!  even before.   Before Nisargadatta,      Ramana Maharshi  oh…

eeeeeeee       And how that Thread has held strong,  even when un seen   over so many years   and now,   as i  come into this final chapter of things,     it Holds.   True.   and takes me where i need to go.   

so,   again,   Marti,   Thank You      Knowing more of You,   i know more of me.    SEEing you,    i can see my self.    WE.

    Grace and Marti too, This is so much, these thoughts…interesting and strong…but more than I can contemplate for my own life, my own questions. I have no answers, but I watch and listen here.

    “The Way It Is” by William Stafford
    “There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
    things that change. But it doesn’t change.
    People wonder about what you are pursuing.
    You have to explain about the thread.
    But it is hard for others to see.
    While you hold it you can’t get lost.
    Tragedies happen; people get hurt
    or die; and you suffer and get old.
    Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
    You don’t ever let go of the thread.”

    Today, what I do matters… and so will all tomorrows.. but if no more tomorrows, today I do.. it may only affect me, or an ant, or a plant, or my family in some way.. but I am and I matter.

    this poem
    there could be a book….a cover…what would it look like?, the cover of a book for these words? and then….some blank pages to begin…just clean white pages and then
    these words…placed almost center on a page and then
    more pages of clean white. till a back cover.
    perfect and enough. perfect
    i Thank You so so deeply for these words
