Dead

(The title was the word of my most recent 'dictionary reading'. Interestingly, prior to the reading I was about to title this entry Hibernation . . .)

Am coiling up a little these days. Taking thoughts and ideas very slowly,
walking a little slower around the house, writing lists and completing a task a day.

An energy saving spell before imminent upheavals that are BIGGER UP, literally into a different hemisphere.

Sometimes it seems that Things happen and with only the
slightest, most gentlest of nurturing touch.

Touch that neither shoves Things into place, nor becomes oily and complacent.

An I-Ching reading:

Hsien (wooing) . . . the influence shows itself in the big toe.

"A movement, before it is actually carried out, shows itself first in the toes."

My big toe twitched, arched and prepared so long ago it is hard to believe that this motion is nearing the movement of leg and arm. This journey, that begins in September or thereabouts, is like many journeys, and actually began long before departure.
