~perhaps how to get rid of dreads due to 4 days of being sick in bed?~

~there were two......then one took flight~

2 photos taken a few days after Pa died. debba told me ravens stay with their partners for life. i realize this is when the raven first whispered to me, but i did not hear.

~i am listening now~

the amazing roseau made this and sent it to me from france in 2009. it was lost in transit. i wonder where he is.

~these antlers have become antennas~

entry in my quick n dirty journal 122710

~close up: i can't get these antlers off!~

i dreamt on christmas night of being on a green, steep, grassy hill on a bright sunny day. there were people all around, picnicking. i looked to my left and noticed a furry rabbit. he started rolling down the hill. how fun, i thought. suddenly there were hundreds of rabbits rolling down the hill! then i saw the dogs. they chased the rabbits down, down the hill. the rabbits were fast and erratic in their path and they outran the dogs and headed up towards a rocky, craggy, mountain peak far off in the distance. in their flurry they disturbed a flock of wild birds who took flight and loudly protested. then the rocks started to loosen. an avalanche ensued. the entire face of the peak of the mountain changed, slowly, as it's pieces broke off & slid down.

i left the green, grassy hill with ma and pa. i told them what i had witnessed. later i was in their bed. i was on ma's side. ma was on pa's side. i had something in my thumb. it was painful and wedged in deep. i couldn't get it out. pa walked over and removed the thorn from my finger.

thank you for visiting me on christmas pa. i miss you.

scared little rabbit,

please drop your fright.

running doesn't stop the pain,

or turn the dark to the light.
