there are a lot of small neighborhood parks around town. They saw this one and decided to check it out and right there at the gate, a little Free Give Away Library.
they took one, will try to find a shingle and bring a book next time.
i draw when there's an urge. when i want or need to show my Self something.
that came about yesterday and i looked over to my left where all the above is deep within the basket on the bench next to me, intermingled with cards and letters from people, Deb L's dirty threads, the two ziplocks of loved small scraps, a jar of sewing needles and more. I like it this way, all together. but when i thought to draw, setting aside the drawing board, hardbound drawing notebook, 2 calendars and the seed catalog that rests on top the basket and then poking around to find what to draw On, seemed a lot. I thought…i'll do it in a minute.
But then, never did. That happens. is not uncommon. so. i found this box, the third of 3 i got for the kids and their art materials. cleared off the table in front of me. That last request of Metta…may you live with ease. For drawing…drawing where mind, heart hand and eye come together
I'd like the drawing to become like the meditation is….just…..living. Just life. We'll see.
the last Gathering at the Well…this word…..Sawubona was given and as i thought about the appearance of Uno and Dos, i remembered. Googled. An ancient Zulu greeting that means I see you or we see you. similar to saying hello or Namaste. Also, more than a polite greeting, it's about being present. respectful. empathetic. it refers to a connection to ancestors….My ancestors and i see you. The response is yebo, sawubona yes, we see you too.
i see you and by seeing you, i bring you into being.
How this is with Us, these two lizards, me.
I continued…searched on YouTube…Sawubona and found so much Everything Global Oneness Project where i will stay, over and over for a while….so much…brought by one gifted word
they're here.
Uno and Dos.
the lizards at Jack's gate tree.
Friends.
