my back feels ‘tired’ from all night sleeping and need exercise, movement, activity early morning to get blood circulating. i feel grateful for each day that comes and goes. awareness this morn is of value of friendship, continuing on theme spoken by socrates last night in reading. i feel every encounter, application, inquiry is but foray into friendship. when we view each meeting, experience with someone, as beginning of lifelong link, bond, association, avails patience, understanding, suffering together long term for benefit of both. augmented if this perception is mutual, nonetheless present when one is conscious of this conception.
thus leaving behind need for pretense, disguise, we may take time in approaching, coming to appreciate, comprehend, recognize full scope of relation. i feel this is more availing in rural settings with small populations that is relatively stable. in large overcrowded cities, this is difficult to realize. as people are so numerous, they become disposable, or rather we feel less responsible for them in our encounter, expectation being we shall not see them again, if we don’t ‘like’ them. cordoned off in island surrounded by expanse of sea, contact is more friendly, knowing we may meet again these same persons. great tolerance is present, with understanding we coexist together.
everyone a brother, sister, uncle, auntie, living more like family, though extensive, than strangers. thus affords view of belonging together no matter how diverse, is inclusive for those that choose this way of being. i realize i am connected with each one, their lives, decision impacting mine. some we love, others we tolerate, until comes understanding one way or other. if there is not agreement, there can be appreciation, sympathy, consideration, forgiveness. boundaries are healthy with respect, even from the most vagrant, knowing we shall meet again in our wanderings.
the goats got tired of their little 80’ x80’ enclosure and all three escaped the electrified fence! jessi checked on them and found none. hearing her distress, we arrived to help, finding all three in forest, not yet approaching gardens and orchard. stationed on west side of house until sunset, returning to their familiar housing on the east side next to green house. goat housing now properly roofed, will receive extension soon. each will have their own compartment to rest. daily contact affords familiarity in trust, as we relate consistently with them. each knowing name and call, we enjoy being close to them in their care and preservation. like unto family we are with them.
after studies will be work, carrying palettes pam left for us two days before, to complete extension for goats. being friends, we go to help her with installing replacement of broken solar inverter. prayerfully, the system will work long for her properly. morning before began with thick cumulation of grey clouds, but no rains. this morning affords none, with bright sun over horizon. this year has been driest in my experience. my trust is in AB’s Provision, when it is time. AB complete our confidence, reliance, Assurance In Safekeeping. there is indeed no failure with AB SMYM. i feel safe in AB’s Constant Tending, Care, Preservation.
