Thank you, friends! I love you all.

Cara, I got a kick out of you dancing around your house nude. You go girl! Livin’ and Lovin’ life. You do it so well. Hello to Thomas and Lakoda!

Hi Carla,
Today, early morning, I traveled with my Lakoda through the woods with our friends Kathryn and Mosby, where each moment was a blessing, sunshine and cool breezes. In our gardens, I fed all my flowers and veggies, and thanked each one for its generosity. Kissed my day lillies…they are so beautiful…and then into the house to finish a job….mudded, sanded the walls, and cleaned it with bleach water to prep for the priming. Instead of getting annoyed with the water getting all over me, I stripped down, turned up the music real loud, (locked the door) and had a grand time without the burden of clothing. It was unlike me to be a nudist for the work session, but I found laughter and joy in labor that would normally aggravate me, and I didn’t splatter my clothes with bleach. What a great day it’s been. Sending you love. I love your words and lovely photos.

Carla, What a thoughtful post — and a beautiful photo to accompany it. Have you read, The Woman Who Watches Over the World, by Linda Hogan. I particularly like this passage from her book, “Religions have searched for the location of the soul inside the human. The poet Rilke said that “what is within us surrounds us,” We create the world from ourselves, he means, and our perception of it. But for the Native mind, the world creates and gives birth to us and our spirits, along with all the rest. The soul resides in the world around us, it shares itself with us. We breathe its breath. We are blessed by its light.” Hogan is of Native American ancestry. Good post — barbara
