a little more peace

a little later in the day and a little brighter...

kai's been off marking the boundaries of his new territory with ever growing confidence, the precious mullingtons of the commune (see last posting) are off at the race track and i've spent my day writing and pottering about in an easy, unhurried manner... there are clothes drying out in the sun over the back of the church pew in the yard, my books are up on the shelves, the dishes are done, my bed is made, my hair is washed, (my feet are not but well, it's progress - flip flops and urban living is a grubby business)...
no tears since waking (i may have run out) so i decided to push the boat out and put on eyeliner. so far so good.

got some much valued nourishment reading bananie's latest posts (link on right) - seeing her beautiful portraits from memorial weekend in nashville, and the testaments to love in this week's words.

i find it hard not to believe in the Divine when i think of Bananie and Helen and their love for one another - their story is a witness to persistant commitment, grace and courage. to see them do their beautiful thing, gives me hope.

profoundly gratitudinal for finding words and will... thinking of those in my life with a growing, warm appreciation, a little more longing, less fear and resistance...letting the walls down bit by bit...

i might make it over to the good Dr's barbeque tonight. we'll see how the next hour goes. no pressure.
