On that day, way up high, the Sky argued with herself about snow or rain. Below, the Light was numinous. This is a photo I took as I walked, lost in the light, on that day:
This old squirrel was one of (late) Mr. Garcia’s “babies”, as my eldest called them when he was very young. Mr. Garcia had several gatherings of babies. He liked to sit on his porch and wave to anyone who stopped to admire them. I love that this baby has a special place now, no doubt salvaged from under some amount of soil, because the babies mostly moved away when Mr. Garcia moved on. This is the magic of my neighborhood.
