what to say
it was International Day of Peace. It was on the calendar, the Butterfly Calendar. It said Church. Just that word. Church. We'd looked around the internet and read about the Unity Church here in Oroville. You can google it. It sounds great and so we chose it as the first effort. You ...

what we can do and what we cannot
but we love anyway

Take. for safe Keeping. Keeping and Regret
there were two baskets of cloth on the bench outside. They got rained on. and when i looked, these two pieces were so stunningly BeautyFull...as if i'd never seen them before. i said i was finished with the Evacuation a couple days ago. Seems it is not true. The Rain spoke of it. ...

Sky Water
it RAINED. RAINED. Rain It was forcast for 7 am. and at 6:58 it began. Rain. I could say that word a hundred times. Rain. With the first drops, Its scent rose and filled the air. Rain. I didn't close the door and it Rained IN and i put a towel on the floor. It hasn't rai...

the scrap at the bottom. 4 1/4 X 1 inch at the widest. A scrap from Jude some years ago. I hadn't seen it for maybe 2 years until the second day of sorting. It would be one of what i would so regret losing, leaving behind. Now i won't.

Time as an Exchange
The house is filled with cricket song. A long wet summer. They come in now, whenever I open any door. To find warm places to sing. I must have put at least 25 back outside. Mom always told me they were good luck, so I hold that thought and train myself to sleep despite their all night chorus. ...

Because I found Time
Just a bit of stitching between things to do. Small Cloth can be handy. Looking at one side and then the other. While thinking about how little we might really know about each other. And then finding a way to look at both sides together. Loving it. How it seems like the real picture. I found...
paper and cloth are so Close...Kin, woven fibers that make a whole
when the Rain softened the tub of paper, it was easy to see, easy to know the relation to cloth

Sometimes
Sometimes you think you are just over your head. But then, when you stand back, put it in perspective, you realize it is just a frame of mind. Feel Free went wacky again. Yesterday, later in the day. A software update wiped out all my audio fixes and put the cute little audio player back but in ...

for so long, i had a hard time with that Buddhist concept. I said to self, I do not suffer. Suffer meant, starvation, cruelty, SEVERE circumstance. I had none.
It took a long long time to understand that suffering was simply an ongoing, unrelenting sense of lack...Dukkha as John Blofeld tells it
suffering. Suffering pushes us to doors, threshholds.
maybe i don't know your life at all. ????
but maybe there has been no suffering, small or large?
Suffering is what pushes us.
Maybe with no suffering, we go. Gently. With no
urgency for Some Thing. Just a wonder.
This would be a Great Gift.
