all baskets are        hand made. made by hand       a human being's    hands.      This one…..from the Socorro NM thrift shop,   how many others have had it before me?     What all has it     held?      Who made it?     with their       hands     …

off and on,   when i could.   for the New Year.    When i finally lived alone in New Mex.   sometimes.   Just me.   and today,  belated due to circumstance,   Alyssia and i.   When she picked it up some days ago,  we debated on how much and i said i want more than i can eat.   …

thinking about imagination.    Where is mine?   and,  really,   what does she even look like…or  maybe better use the pronoun They…..    so…how do you find out?…..pencil to paper.        so,  here,  talking,   whatever that might be like?    Want to spend some time with this.    They are sitting.   on rocks.   but…

' when i looked the other night at the little leaf on the moon night light,   i also saw this small glass vase in the background.    It's for water when i use the Inktense Penciils.  Saw how care less i've been…it was all clouded by calcification etc.    and i  stopped.  Got the Bragg…

i said i'd use the Inktense.    i see  it lasted  not even 3 weeks… maybe this time?     So….the ritual of going through the last year's calendar…bringing forward Birthdays etc   in to the New…making note of things that might be good to remember this time Around?   just   FEELING   how it was,  how it is…

with the little leaf.    just sitting,  breathing,   being present and i think that this year i will take Crow ….in the case of an Evacuation.   In the past,  i thought to leave.   Something is different.   Take.    the light….is one of   4 little night lights that all together give light of a small lamp. …

as i was leaving,   closing the Gate….. there it was….so perfect so small    so        powerful       how it triggered such a response in me   maybe in this new year i'll be willing to become better,  more diligent,  more patient and gather better words for things i want to say?,  maybe…

this oh so elegant …..book….was gifted me.   i am sad to say that i don't remember Who sent it.   Are YOU there?   Was it You?  Please tell me.      because it's time now that I use it.   Perfect time now.   I've kept it and waited.  but….Now. Alyssia has a suitor.   I smile as i…

just pencil to paper and whatever happens….. that one on the left….urge to FIX it…..does not look like a Goat…no….but….NO to the urge for fixing,  so….let it be for now.   This is early….first thing…maybe 5 or 6  am….I like it.   a good way to Begin. this is in response to finding the Photography of Charles…

I was going to say a lot of things but as time went on,  i thought again about Versions,  how there are so many and all so True for each experience…. So….Happiness  to yours….this is mine.
