this morning,  upon waking,  my thoughts were like the mushrooms…just appearing,  erupting  surprising and insistent.

what to do about this blog?    What actually IS this blog FOR?    How have things changed?,   Why might that BE?   The Weekend Edition,  NPR   the work of Susan Hudson,   Navajo quilter….her HERITAGE.   What is MY heritage?,  not genetic but the heritage of my Spirit?  My soul?    and then the event where Leslie Stahl and Peggy Noonan talked….the topic being a reflection on the 2024 election , the failing trust in mainstream media:   "Were talking about something so essential that you don't want to say    'well,  well see.  Or maybe,  the world will come to an end,  we'll see'    But if America lost freedom of the press and freedom of speech,  it would be the beginning of losing everything"   and from there,   the wondering about that glass half full/empty thing ….which AM I?  or,  is it even a question?   

and then I make spaghetti and ate it.  took a nap.  and the day disappeared.   till late when I saw that Tara  Brach had posted the Part 2 of  A Heart that is Ready for Anything     ………….   our suffering is that we want life different.  If it's different, it'll be ok.   No…Unconditional Presence.   This too.   and      this too.  and phone with  Alyssia ,   Julian coming in in the back ground and circling around to asking her about her Ill nesses….he has to have a physical exam for Sports…the volley ball team     and Puppy is keeping coming in  Meowing at the door   Sleeping on my feet   and Goats are reconfiguring how stuff is    the feed bowl order is in dis   order  …..it's how they miss Onday    and Up there where Onday CHOSE to  die,    Chose to lie down and die….Chose  where Onday Chose

    We have mushrooms popping up here too. I enjoy finding them on our morning walks. I think of your blog as a diary, reflections of daily life. I am so happy that you share it. I find it very comforting.

    And this too… and this too… The way we would like things to be. The way things are. Clinging. Pushing away. I also listened to this last night. Got up to write down those same words “unconditional presence”. I need to listen to both parts again. So much there.
