hibernation station

within winter's cold & deep, the sun is setting low.
hidden somewhere, a bear lightly sleeps,
her body full, aglow.

(zen-like patient, waiting for the thaw)

her mind's eye often wandering, to places beyond her den.
sleepwalking shapes of dreamed imaginings,
plenty and
often

~

"One of the most celebrated hibernators is the American black bear (Ursus americanus). It can go for as long as 100 days without eating, drinking, urinating, defecating, or exercising."www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sa...ernation.html

"A slumbering bear has all it needs within. "

meditation guru!

what do bears dream?

every great project

....starts with a list?



my now living cityside offerings include>>

more alleyways interconnecting into more outlets of doing
daily dilly dallying options here expanding exponentially

I'm observing--the new walls that surround---lightsources----preexisting patterns-----walkways---roomates----portals into pondering
--mapping the area by puttering and
-------riding my bike around

integrating---unpacking
------adding fixtures
flavours

applying (aka, gumption)
---reach out!
--intentional crafting!
--------------------------get with the program!

program the getting!

this can be fueling

what am I forgetting?

there's something underground

all over,
there,
all begun.
all over,
you,
on the run

,
,
,
the many imaginary paths
through endless pipes that
greywater
leaves the house
,
,
,
,
,
one way down
,
seeping into earth

warming mind

swaying girth
spanning time
brief pockets of sun
(the streaming kind)

lantern domes make muffled sounds
(momentarily illuminating mine)

flickering embers in the campfire's bowl
little lapping, licking flames
jamming survival in the newborn coal
this fire is never tame

these are a hypnotic trance inducer

hospital zen

you fantasize about

walk through the garden forever
it's all this
mind
it's always always sound
I wait for this
all

it takes you so far down
to the spaces you remember best
as best

you fantasize about

e v e r y t h i n g and f o r e v e r

every forever and thing

every ever for think

thing forever

this

thinking forever

thin

dismantling a home

the longer anyone lives in a specific place, the more one gets settled in and familiarized

i am bits and pieces flustery here
mustering to move

I am attached to some stuff

collecting collected
purge purged regurgitating

fallaways
castaways

relocation efforts are a bit of a tedium
sorting out is
long sessions rooting through,
sneezing, sifting, boxing, hucking, drifting

mulling over items

I go through gads of things,
feeling textures, envisioning patterns

How full on am I willing to delve into this reincarnation limbo/puppet hospital ???????

can this become a useful handling doc?

giving anything the time and the energy it deserves
is meticulous work

choices choices
voices voices
hark!

in portions

my heart strings are being pulled tight
they loosen momentarily whenever I give something flight

f l a p p y
making space takes space

questioning space is good clutter mantra
putterfoot through sooty underbelly of household
mutter tut tut tote tantra?

spacing out here
