i've been waiting for something.   some  thing     since giving up cloth.   and then,   the death of the Garden.  It's been a difficult summer.

have been uhhhh,   at a loss.     But steadfast….the Lizards have/do  Teach me well.   

  

Wait,  they say.   Look     until you    See.     Things take time.

 

and as if to be sure I understand….THIS morning,  at Jack's gate….after long waiting,   Uno appeared.   and THEN… Dos!  Dos,  who has not come for a long time now….but THERE,  this morning,   skittering up to join Uno

and I came back and as it happens,   You Tube gave this out of the blue….   The Forgotten Language of Drawing  Jim Lockey Tedx folkestone

I had drawn these images …..   they came without asking,   just came.   An eye.  an ear.   and then…….  some Things    I see it's an attempt to see the           Brilliant Mind of the Universe 

he says…paraphrased…. drawings are marks that become vessels,  containers of ideas.    drawings,  ideas we might not even have words for

so…maybe this.   maybe I can be    drawn in     .   maybe re energized…..

    I am still sitting with your saying you have given up cloth…thought of how life circumstances, especially the unforeseen ones, cause a tear, an opening that we either walk through or not. For you, drawing is calling; it has always done so but now, it is what you found more deeply on the other side of the tear…
    For me, not sure what is calling but at least I can say that this year, I finally finished a cloth from over a year of fits and starts…but foraging, well, that waits although yesterday, when I noticed all of the leaves that had danced into a circle under the patio table, I gathered some and bundled them in cloth, stuck them in a glass jar, set the jar on the ground so the sun could find it…somehow, there is always a beckoning, a way for me to at least hold onto what cloth and I share…

    I believe a well lived life is filled with seasons … each encouraging us to embrace transition …. Believing that each new season has its own beauty and purpose.

    I think a lot about how we have to change our expectations as circumstances change…and how this comes with opportunities and grief. Give up and death are such strong words.
