i did something to my back this last week.  pretty much everything but sitting still was(is) painful.   i thought it would just go away if i took it easy but it wasn't.    In the past,  anything muscle would have immediately gotten Arnica Rub…a cream.   i've been so fortunate with this body,  it hasn't been often..maybe 4 times in my life?  once for sciatica,   but enough to know it works.  Not this time…it's mid back and i can't use topical,  can't reach   i ordered the Oral and first time,  the Boiron Homeopathic.  

 in the past,  words were enough.   But how it is lately,  it's pictures i want  and so…..   this one is from Wikipedia.  with the words….    Arnica is a genus of perennial, herbaceous plants in the         sunflower family         Wouldn't you know??????   I started it yesterday.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everything.   the  Face of Life.

 

by the resting chair.  a few of these,  was going to count them today but it was cold and there was strong wind.    not many.  this is outside Nogal's old forest  that's been closed and all the thistles have grown.   so at first sight i thought the thistles were moving out which would have been interesting but even more,  this.   It looks like a dandelion,  yes?   but then i search and there is the  Sow Thistle.   ????    Good work for these last coldwet days.   Good to wonder,  how they might have arrived up here???   Either way,  greens are edible.   Will have to wait for a bloom

 

 

 

 

 

 

how wonder Full if i had a vast field with room for All…..

 

 

 

early afternoon        and out of that nowhere,   a small dark cloud directly overhead with    HAIL,  pea size ….the Goats didn't know  where to run    Hail.   a few minutes and then,  as if it never happened.     and how it is on this Hill,   just down on the other side,  the Meadow side,   it truly     was      like it didn't happen     'because it      didn't.    Plumcot continued with ease.   

   

 

 

 

 

 

the Plumcot.  down at the big gate.

looked at this today.    When i went out for the  Boro book the other day,   this was there.   ????   Tbe only  Cloth.   I don't remember making it.  i just don't remember it.   The words are        Stand and  Face in the stick house of Imagination.   Where you can pray flowers where lizard watches as crow marks the passing of days  and the  Sunflowers spoke    No te rindas, grace

i don't remember   and look today and see a different liminal space.   How many ways can there be?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yesterday,  at the Gathering at the  Well,   the concept of           liminal space      was given.      and i am     taken.    All day i looked for an  "illustration" that can stand for this perfect term,  that tho is familiar for years,   today,  is perfect for how it is right now.  It's a glass of water.  at night.   There will be more.

Liminal space.    a transitional or transformative  period between two  meaningful events or a physical space between two destinations 

from Latin   Limen ….threshold

spaces neither here nor there,  inbetween places we pass through from one area to another.   These spaces often invoke feelings of eeriness or discomfort  because they are not meant for staying but rather, passing through      empty parking  lots at night,  hallways,  stairwells.

The concept of  liminality is important in anthropology, psychology and architecture highlighting how physical space  can influence  human emotions and behaviors.

A space of  uncertainty and ambiguity ,   all landmarks are gone,  the future is undefined.
