Went to Joe's book signing at the Garden Hills lodge. Hugh success for Joe. Honor and I worked the book sale table and worked like hand and glove. Saw old friend from N'side who wanted to know if she was my sister. Went to dinner and things went south. Got in arguement and bad words. Too much to drink. Both felt sorry for it. Probable made up today.
Fair day--not much done--came home early--not much excitment between Mo and I. sad

Peace
Seems that I think that happiness can only come in the future when preset conditions that are in my mind are met. Been doing that all my life and these conditions have been met and they didn't bring happiness so I set other conditions. If only P and I were together I would be happy.
Such bull shit.
I have already arrived. My happiness and peace are all around me if I would only open my eyes. That's all--open my eyes and feel the warmth of peace.
Has been a nice morning. Have to go to D'Babbs, do foodways letter, and work on my homework. Mo is coming and Honor is coming down to go to a Joe thing regarding his new book and then I think we are going to an art opening in
Castleberry. Hope Honor can treat me like a friend rather than a stranger she doesn't particularly like.
It's a beautiful day and I'm at peace.

ADAPT
Seem to have lost my last two posts--what is-
Last three days have been coordinating the legal representation of the ADAPT people. Mostly hurry up and wait stuff. Most things got negotiated away but ended up with 5 arrests that i have farmed out to other lawyers. Have been discombobulate but less so than in the past. Hopefully that means that I am more in the present. Did get a little testy with the kids at lunch yesterday--not sure why I got so taken out of now and so excited and frustrated about legal stuff.
Today slept to 7:30 and had a time getting started. Went to bank, office to straighten out computer and realized I had lost mu Visa card. Took 2 hour walk and nap and tried to read and meditate. Suppose to meet up with Robin Chaney but she stood me up again. Maybe mental stuff.
Going to ADAPT party tonight and maybe come home and do a little work or not. Need to send Foodways letter. Got to do it today or tomorrow.
Been thinking about my homework this week--all about relationships--hard to verbalize. will give it a good try tonight. Loft still leaking and z still rattles in my brain some.
Think I'll go spend sometime in the now

I'm here today
Been a while. This is part of my homework with my teacher and I have been slack. But I am here today.
The clouds are flying overhead directly east--angry grey low clouds trying to cover the higher beautiful white ones and blotting out the sun. cold front coming and the birds are dashing around from feeder to feeder as if it is their last meal.
Did art show for Honor this weekend with Laurence reading poetry. Grand affair that truly made my heart warm. Mo did her usual excellent job and I believe had a good time. Either it is getting harder for me to read Mo or I'm more in tuned to trying to. She still id not over her spell of losing confidence. What a wondrous soul that woman. She had bee in Atl and came home yesterday and I could finally sleep--cool air and cuddling are a tonic for most anything that ails you.
Had a session with my teacher yesterday. After 4 sessions I am still astonished by the depth of her perception. Talked about peace and being here. So very good for me.
My friendship with P seems to have taken a small shift for the better. It adds such depth to my life.
Sudden rain shower with the sun out just as Mo has taken Scout for their morning walk Stopped.
Need to get hikes together for Forest Watch and get my thoughts together about Foodways and organize the lawyers for next weeks demonstrations.
I'm alive and it is a beautiful day. I have the love of 3 children, two women and the friendship of many. I'm here today.
