Brownie of the Boreal

I am sitting by the window delighting in sunshine with two dog people by my feet in a temporarily quiet house because Marco is the only other human home and he's not playing his radio.. it must be broken, I won't ask questions. Charlie is filming a movie for school about zombies, something strange that he and his brother have in common... the zombie thing... I made a checklist of things I need to get done before I start my new job in a couple of weeks, sitting at the computer is not actually on the list.. but I think I'll write it in so I can check it off. I'm painting a sign for my friend Lola's new Bakery...she's a beautiful,kind person and I am happy to be part of her new venture...I'm painting a blue bear holding a chocolate strawberry cake. The background is the color of squash. I am studying and learning about the catholic church and I find it fascinating, it softens my heart. I have to get my head out of the way.. it's certainly not about the rational, that's not what I'm looking for, really ever. It's about mystery and that is my longing. My priest is funny, warm, insightful and he has a lovely Irish brogue. My catholic sponsor is my friend Sandy and she has a heart the size of Seattle. Miles, my grandson, is my best little friend. Last week when he slept in the big bed in the tiny house with his 2Mamma his little body jumped up on my head in the night. I told his Mom and she said he was jumping at open gym the entire day long... still jumping, soaring around in his dreams...sweet bouncing boy... My daughter Prairie is part of a movie that her friend Maeri is directing.. she plays a deer, she actually is a deer so this role is a fit. Presently in her real life she lives in a basement, she feels a little wild inside herself, but any deer would..."everything is temporary" Cosmo. There's a brown pony outside my window eating grass, he's lifting his head and while chewing manages to tell me a few bad jokes. I know people who are often sad, I know people who are big fat phonies, I know people who are warm and wise and amazing, I know people who are REALLY funny (and I miss them), I know people who really like mechanical things and I know people who ride trikes.
