GOING NOWHERE Part One

I meant to keep careful notes on days and events, but I fell into a trance, so this post is not a specific time line event. Instead, kindly assume that everything took place in the 'now' of each moment.

PLACE
Friday September 21st
Driven away from this overwhelming City

North with two generous Friends...

arriving that Afternoon
Then the sun appeared

Then clouding over to
Sunset, then rain.

 Weather in the Catskills did just about everything that weather can.
Morning Mist fell and rose up again...

There was a full Moon...

and a Welcome...

To a Comfortable Bed


in a Pleasant Room holding memories
("Kittens" painted by Edna Hill)

Jude Hills Heart...
and Little Edna Hill.

"Space"
Held the window open...

and one Morning the window view held

Free-Range Fowl

 Strollng and pecking

on the grass of the farm next door

Beautiful critters.

"We must be going nowhere in order to be somewhere.
Sense of place is not to be aimed at, it is received."
from David James Duncans 'My Story as Told by Water' 
I read there and left for the next guest.

There was an amazing variety of Music from serious to silly. They have a spectacular collection of discs and vinyl to share.

A very weary man at Rest

is soon joined by one contented Cat

"Hello" and "Farewell"

-The End-

Much more to share. I haven't even touched on our visit to the community garden, their cloth work in process, saving a spider, other rooms and the graveyard of the family that occupied the place for Centuries, more music and films and comforts unending.
