Fwd: Living Energies, Omen Log

1871 Emerson: A man should not go
where he cannot carry his whole sphere or circle
with him, not bodily, but atmospherically.

I ate fresh wild

honeycomb
with my fingers
for the first time.

Raking moss in the dingy, a large bodied
spider
came up my leg
to stay dry.

I tested my sunglasses
with a crowbar
on a ladder,
prying burnt wood away.

Somewhere in the valley
cars VROOM and ZOOM around a track
so we, hear in the garden
engines rev.

A train rumbles by
on the other side, east
just shy of the foothills, blue mountain
railroad.

All I can say w/ this place is RESONANCE
it\’s the sound bound
of a GONG
…or the dinner bell.

These times & transits – in a space between –
give the sense, where I can see,
I am living
prophecy.

Rusty blackbirds rustle in the bamboo.
One is dead, the rainbow glistening
off the sheen of it\’s
blue black feathers.

Saying goodbye 2 u
it\’s been a glorious day,
despite consistent cloud cover
full of the promise:

Activities of completion
harvest day, csa!
transition winter to spring
and green re-emerges

i float on a sea of it
drawing plant portraits – a
come union rite
stop, for in silence it is heard

mullein _ i feel i have, developed w/in me, this
natural ease
being connected, assimilating the
gesture of a plant

we become one

through inaction, let it be
conversing w/ a wise man
i sense what he is handing me

pieces of conundrum,
big one. i honor his messages
time for peace
walk, in meditation

over sacred spaces
i tread through fields
along the wide mowed path
and divulge into forests.

This time traveling deja vu
washes over me, here
surges, spirals, multiplies and it\’s nonsense – all
Nonsense, but true.

anyway – this peace…
i can feel it in my fingers
flowing through
currents

my blood dances along
in its wake
energy, buzzing pulse, natural euphoria
like when i float up

my body sings
when i can feel these things
i\’m growing wings
to fly!

Happy Hen-dywork


Slow morning
Breakfast: granola and mate
Reading: Living Energies
Vortex, golden section, motion
Touch of double digging in garden

THE perfect lunch – onions (crisp and sweet) and red potatoes (lightly sauteed). These are cooked for only a few minutes so that they still retain some of their characteristics when raw. Add salt, pepper, anise seed and rosemary. Then a touch of cumin and some turmeric. Slice just a bit of cooked chicken, possible black beans – let the flavors meet and eat! Dillicious.

Cup of lightly brewed green tea
Enjoyed whilst sitting on a rock in this lawn
Who grew to double it\’s height
…over-night!


Construction of the Coop, also doubling
in Spring\’s first leap.
1pm to dark we toil
with dinner restored

chicks move in
as night begins,
long hot shower eases the work –
I fall right to my slumbers!
