—Turtle Island

Sipping my morning coffee (black) and waiting for my brain and mobility function to kick in. Yesterday I had help connecting my camera to my phone courtesy of who is an upcoming videographer. He’s really talented, so if you haven’t already seen and followed, take a look-see and add him. We’re going to commission him to do some video of Charles soon, and figuring out logistics. So after connecting the Canon, this was one of the images that transferred as a jpg. Normally they go to LR (Lightroom) but that’s another step. But back to Turtle Island. Sometimes we have a feeling of being entirely alone but this passes. We’ve come a long way to be where we are, and that journey can be choppy and challenging to navigate. Turtle Island is actually a wonderland of endless adventure. Our ancestors didn’t worry about “budget” as we had all of Turtle Island to live, marvel at and explore. This woman’s regalia reminded me of that where everyone has a space and place; there’s no hierarchy in a circle. ..

—Mother

Waking up early, or even having the ability to roll out and start another day is a blessing. Some days can be a struggle for so many reasons. I mean the latter for so many people, because we never know anyone’s journey. We all carry bags and bags of stuff, so when we’re busy dumping it’s good not to carry anymore or offer to carry someone else’s. Or accept what other people are handing out. It’s okay to refuse other people’s garbage when they’re working hard to find a home for it. I’m thinking of my late mother’s (I had a few and don’t we all), so I’m grouping them all together and what they might be imparting to me, their knowledge and words on particularly difficult days. ..
