it        feels     really good.

the "frame"   of the  2  "magic"  ribbons   came first.   Then….without thought,   this simple flower.   Nothing fancy,  just a very small drawing.   But it felt and continues  to      feel       good.    Comforts.     it comforts me.    One week from today,   the one looming unknown will be known.   One week from today,   from this dark cold early hour of the night,  I will go to sleep.    Sleep.   and wake to  know what kind of people I live among.    people.     human beings.  "Americans"…that's what we're called.   Through it all,    a flower remains a flower.   a lizard a lizard.   cat    dog   Goat   spider  worm    tree  moss  lichen  stone      They   without  drama    just    peace    a gentle ….Beingness

    And at the end of this waiting time, I do think we will not know the results next Tues evening, may take much longer…we are who we are and the questions rise: How will the result change us, if at all? How will we move forward, whatever the outcome? Is it possible to come together, at some point?
    I go out and about, wearing my Kamala pride and the thing that strikes me the most is how little I am seen. I smile, say good morning and sometimes get a thumbs up but no one really stops to discuss. This to me feels so strange in light of the way it was when I wore my Obama pride. But wars, pandemic, hatred, violence has changed the landscape since 2008 and mistrust and fear, rule the day.
    Yes, your words, “awake to know what kind of people I live among” has never been more poignant or vital.

    Those are the words that caught my attention too. The waiting is hard and it is good to remember what you’ve said here Grace, that some things will continue to be as they are.
