Today's Earth Prayer

[willowoak]

Step out onto the Planet.

Draw a circle a hundred feet round.

 

Inside the circle are

300 things nobody understands, and, maybe

nobody’s  ever really seen.

 

How many can you find?

I can’t remember if I’ve posted this one before.  My brain is mush…I didn’t sleep at all last night.  Sadly.

 

Although when the kitchen flooded, I guess it was good that I was awake.  Somehow the connection between the dishwasher and the faucet keeps leaking.  And not just leaking, but occasionally spraying.  So last night the kitchen floor became a small lake.  I don’t understand it…the connection fits, but during the wash cycle it seems to shift and then suddenly there’s water everywhere.  And Odhinn kept getting under my feet while I was trying to clean it up.  *sigh*

 

At 11:30, since I’d been awake all night so far, but hadn’t eaten since 5pm I made a banana protein shake.  I wish I could have slept.  I kept turning off the light and trying to fall asleep.  But no, my mind just keeps racing.  And it’s now 1:45 and I’m still awake.  Work will be no fun today.
