Wild in the world, this little fox has been living rent free in my yard all summer. Foxy obviously travels well beyond my little property as these shots in the adjoining field show. Yet like all of us who are free in the world, we tend to stick to our ruts, habits and opinions.
It’s cold now.
It’s cold
It’s not really cold. It’s 68°F.
it’s cold enough to wear jeans & a shirt & a jacket
It’s cold compared to the heat of the summer
just a few days ago When all you could manage was a flop
Your brain didn’t work you ate a lot of ice cream & popsicles,
there was no relief
now it’s cold
It’s not cold it’s 68°F
But the distractions don’t work anymore
You can be in your body and now you can think
the thinking
The summer has been pissed away
Down hill since the solstice That was almost two moths ago
Now what?
The cats sleep, the crickets chirp different birds every day
It’s cold
It’s not really cold it’s 68° f
It takes every effort to know you are drowning
can you see the shoreline
You know how to swim
But will drowning be so bad
Should you swim?
Just kick move your arms
breathe
It’s cold
It’s not really cold. It’s 68°F.
The last days
Have been a trial. Months of darkness & foreboding. Nothing is decided nothing is firm, but the clouds seem to be breaking. The storm seems to be moving on, but it will get worse before it gets better.
Focus
On the things that matter. The predictability of the full moon, the web not the spider, the mist not the mountain.
Hold on now
Can hear ya from here…
Field perspective
From Ninety three million miles of empty space, 100’s of miles of atmosphere, and a mix of water the edge of a thermonuclear fusion reaction meets with my eye and deliver these prizes to my camera.
Flowers
Early July flowers are beginning to show up in my unruly garden.
I can fret & worry, is there enough rain, is it too hot, are the snails eating all the seedlings… but the seeds of this moment were planted months ago.
Seems like a hint on how to move through this moment, beauty and order can emerge despite the chaos. stay cool, enjoy the show as it unfolds & save your energy for the harvest to come this fall.
Feeding time
There is no free lunch
Choral songs
Sung in mass & solo.
Naturally abstract
Chemicals, bond in certain patterns, molecules carry this up a scale, cells, structures, all built on this chemical foundation. Just add water.
