its official I can drive some more. I passed my written drivers exams thats good. I was so tired yesterday it was our first snow In the morning it was so pretty the dogs were pretty happy about it. I finished the insulation in the crawlspace Yea!! that was good, the foam sprayed so excellently, I had put the tanks downstairs with heaters and wraps to acclimate them and the crawlspace two weeks ago and even though there had been warmer days yesterday just felt right. So I suited up while lunch was cooling and dove in! it was perfect no looking back no doubts an abundance of foam.
In the morning after doing the chores I had carried upstairs the boards for the remainder of the ceilings up there 63 ten foot by 1 inch by 8 inches beautiful pine. Nice after the guys came over and helped move the two tables into the kitchen I got up there and finished the ceiling in the larger bedroom. now only three more ceilings to go. it is tiring working over my head and afterwards there was no blogging! just a bath and get the dogs in read some taichi and go to sleeeeeeeep. LOL The sun comes up later and later
I hope that your week went very well. Every evening and morning prayer and during the day prayer is woven throughout the fabric of the days' intention. Open heart, abundance in and out, protection for the ones at Lame Deer, gentle remembering of who each of us is, and followthrough in the day so that we can build a beautiful night sky blanket in the stars for the next Night that Follows Day.
there has been a story building somewhere in the Night and This Night I will begin:
Once Upon a Time (which means Right Now) in a Land Far Far Away (which means Right INside us), there lived a Young Prince. His Royal Family was at the end of a very long Struggle that had gone on for too many Generations. War and discrimination and Persecution in the Form of Negating Freedom, Identity, Religious Practice, and Economic Development had Ravaged their Kingdom. Like Most Stories of this Kind, Told in the Beginning of Winter, it will begin in a dark and dangerous way, and make us Cold and then Colder until it Seems that there will Be no More Light, and then We will See what we will see in the Dark of the Winter Night.
The King and Queen had been part of an Old Alliance that was like a Great Ship of Kings and Queens, Governments and Regents that had Sailed into a Future based on a Large Cumbersome Agreement (Made After a Previous Grievous War) that Few had Not Profited from. But Large and Cumbersome Ships and Agreements Become Weighty with the Spoils of Privilege, as those things do, and the Ship had become so Difficult to Sail that the Few who had not profited and Felt that it was Their Time, Grasped Mutinous but Destined Power in Weapons and Charm of the Media, they Soon had Overthrown All the Helmsmen and Women while the Kings and Queens and Regents and Dowagers and Administrators were at the Annual Allies Harvest Ball.
Little did the Kings and Queens know that the Allies had Secretly Strengthened the Few with Outdated but still Powerful Weapons that could Change the Balance of Power in the Region and thus the World and In Doing So, The Allies would again Profit from the Mayhim and Mayher that would Follow the Breaking Up of the Big Ship. the Allies Discovered in the Greatest of Wars, That There is Great Profit to be made in the Business of War, and in the Business of Dealing Out Death, Protecting the Weak, Comforting the Torn and Distraught, in Not Taking Sides but Making their Own Side, and Encouraging with Words Whispered Here and There in the Ears of the Onlookers, and the Greedy Hearts of the Mutinous Few that the Idea and Action of Killing if Not Eliminating altogether any Human Being that in The Interim had been perhaps Leading the People towards Peace was a tragedy that would Make Good Media but Soon Be forgotten and thus was permissible to do as the Road of Accountability had Stalled Somewhere between the End of the Last First War and the Ones who Handed out Prizes for the Commercials and Movies shot During a War and it all was So Long Ago and So Far Away that It Really wasn't real was it ? Anyway.
Not So Long Ago, In another Far Away, the Pirates of the Oldest Queen had Learned Finally, after watching the Queen become Rich on the Ships that They Sank Including their Own Ships with their own Brothers and Sisters. They discovered that bodies like fodder could be felled without Recompense If the Cause was Grand. They discovered Like the Old Queen Already Knew, that it was much more Profitable to Create War amongst Others and Profit from the Flotsam and jetSome that came out of it than it was to Work as Commoners Do for the Greater Good. They were careful however to not hand out the Biggest Stick, but to make Sure that those Who Were Willing, Had Sticks that could be Wielded and actually Kill as Often as was Needed, and as Many in Any Place, to Maintain the Focus of the Public Eye ON the Monkeys in the Ring rather than the Ringmaster and his Crew selling Popcorn Drinks and Tickets to a Good Show. In Fact, the Greatest Show on Earth had become War. preventing It, planning It, staging It, recovering from It, threatening It, and waging It. The Pirates made Sure that Not too Many Generations went by without Feeling War. The world was Big! they could sit back and move the Players around the Globe, Lighting Fires and Putting them Out. No One would be the wiser.
So, Long Ago they had become the Allies of War. Now mind you these Pirates had no King or Queen or Country. They had Money and the Opportunity that was created by Strengthening the Few to UnSeat the Many, and They Lived Where They Pleased Which is to say, in Your Back yard. The Allies Particularly paid Attention to the Sons and Daughters of the displaced Kings and Queens, Whose lives had not just been filled with Thoughts of Destiny, and Power, and Success, But Responsibility. Especially, those who were an Only Child. And Most Especially Particularly Those whose Parents were willing to make Great Sacrifice to Give this Young Princess or Prince the Still held if a bit Mangled Keys to the Kingdom Along with the Last of the Support for the Quest to Restore Greatness to the Family. It was in Particular, very Important that this youngling be sent on a Quest with the Last of the Family Jewels, and the Old Sword of Destiny, to the Land of Opportunity, to find Not only His and thus Their Kingdom, But, to find His Princess.
And that Relatives is the Tempest that begins the Story of our Young Prince as He Came to the Land of Opportunity to Begin His Quest.
.........
Sleep well younglings, elders, Relatives, and Friends
Love will wrap you and Hold you like the Fire in the Stars that burn and burn and send Out Their Light long long after they have gone to sleep
