I just read a most recent thread. It's minus 5 here and also Sunday. The thread was about lists Today-Sunday, I'm supposed to just focus just on relaxation and inner pursuits. I just can't, I have to do something. Well, I have to snowblow the rest of the driveway. But, as relates to this post that I read several days ago, it made me think of the beginning and the ending. Your writing is like a weave whereby the ending pattern is unknown. I thought for sure you were gonna go home. Voila, you didn't. I like all the asides and writing down different roads, then back and I find out you completed the days in the dark venture. Not for me for sure. I don't know why but sometime back you mentioned your 80yo or so parents that seemingly are relatively self-sufficient in this adobe dwelling. I imagine it to be round. Somthing about a log being prewarmed for the wood stove. Recently I read a photo journalist essay about a dying hippy commune in Northern california. I don't know why but that was brought to mind. So, with these pointless ideas I leave you. Keep weaving. PS: I so wish I could wake up and just put on shorts and flip flops. Soon I say to myself soon. I'm off to layer clothes, put on my body suit, and crunch around in the snow.
That is so how life is...If I try to control it and hold tight, it never works anyway and I was just as surprised as you that I stayed as I really couldn't handle that many bats around my head at night. But I learned I could handle one, and that feels good somehow. I can handle one bat. Perhaps I can now handle a tiny bit more of the next difficult conversation that I am faced with. Thanks for the kind words about my weaving. It isn't for everyone. I met someone at an event who mentioned how my blog is "all over the place" and I could tell it was a bit much for him. But it is my style, so there you are. We all have our style. I hope the driveway went well and you feel cozy in your layers. And that you find the shorts and flip flop adventure soon as well... Thanks for reading.
I LOVE that pic of you at the top of that mountain, Terra! And the swing....I love swinging too. Will run to any I find out there in the wild.LOL! Sending you love, sister! XO
I feel very resonant with you in so many ways Jacqueline and really admire your creativity, your calligraphy, art, and music. I hope we can go on an adventure or a workshop somewhere together sometime in the next few years! Thanks for reading and for taking time to touch in here. XO
