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?
