The Oracle gave me five lines of a shadorma and multiple endings, all leading in the same direction. There is no resting place right now in the world created (and, increasingly, destroyed) by homo sapiens.
if life clouds
you with lonely whys,
rest between
the roots of
earth, breathing green spiritsong–
follow treepaths–walk
winter into spring–
listen to ancient
stones—wander with wind

We all had wind this week. I almost used ancient. Some of the same words/feelings as mine.

It’s hard to know what to say anymore, but I think the Oracle knows we are better off not wallowing in despair .

Just what I needed to hear right now, in this moment. I’m full of “lonely whys” right now at any and all levels. “Rest between the roots” sounds like a perfect place to be.

It’s the only place with any solace at the moment I think.

I’d love to believe that was still possible. I fear that quiet existence is over.

It’s still a balm to me to go sit with the sparrows, which is what the girls and I did this morning.

I’m just about to go and listen to the birds too.

The oracle was leading you to the truth of this world… I read the poem and could visualize a silver drop of water following those tree paths…

Thanks Phil. Old monoprints. I want to do more, but I can never reproduce anything I’ve done in the past. Still, it might result in something interesting. It’s on the list.
