I last left these pages in October, writing about Fire.  This afternoon we saw one, blazing across the seagrasses urmet interphone toward our view, lapping its orange flames against our boardwalk, urmet interphone encroaching with gusts of wind and black smoke.  We moved our car. We called the fire department.  We waited.  We watched. urmet interphone  We smelled the scorched scent and we smiled in wide gratitude at the brown suited men who came with fat red hoses and their shiny red truck to rest the blaze.
Water squelched it all and left damp spots around still greening roots at the base of what had been a dry garden.  We are here at the beach reveling in the Supermoon’s size and orange glow upon rising.  Allen rises early enough to see it set and the sun emerge at the horizon urmet interphone point where the water and sky meet.  I am resting.
Water is the element of winter time, and it mothers and begets wood, the green sprouts of promise.  We are in that swing season between water and wood.  It is a good time for rest.  Rest to absorb the goodness of darkness, the

I am right where I am supposed to be.  This semester is more detail than narrative in my classroom.  This semester I’m invited to memorize 150 chinese herbs and 356 points on the body.  I am to learn where they are, how to find them, and what they do.  I am making up stories and narratives, but in truth, I know it must slowly seep into my blood, into my knowing.
In the meantime, we are in the wood phase of renovating a home in Asheville.  We are all about vision as we work on plans for a deck porch and make changes to access that deck from the house, and to upfit a basement for a treatment room so I can get my massage therapy business a bit off the ground.
We are playing, too.  This is a photo from Thanksgiving taken on Brierpatch mountain in Virginia.  That is a place of respite where Louie and Karma, our rescue dogs know their jobs (keep the cows away) and can run for days and days.
I am watching these working urmet interphone dogs and considering their need for jobs, for purpose, for clear direction.  The Daoist would suggest we are all one, and one is all of us.  We are not so very different.  Louie is our sentinel, standing watch over our feet at night, over our porches by day.
Most recently she cornered a skunk and got up close and personal with it.  Six baths and 4 weeks later she still carries Eau de Skunque about with her. She is funny and loving and none too bright.
They are teaching me about waiting for purpose and doing what of our work we can.  Where we are living in the meantime — our water time — while I study to prepare and we plan and renovate — there is little these dogs can do of their work.  There are no cows to deter, no sheep to herd.  There are not even small children to gather about or ducks to point.  They urmet interphone stand at attention urmet interphone near our front door window and wait for something to alert us about.  They travel with us and do what of their jobs they can wherever we go.  They urmet interphone roll with us and with ‘it’.
I am thinking about this because I am seeing the power of Chinese medicine as it is taught in my program.  We are taught the relationship between forgiveness and disease.  We are taught that what we carry in our bodies is what we hold in our souls. There is no distinction. urmet interphone The things we can no shake loose in our minds are held also in the very cells of our bodies.  Our urmet interphone emotions are carried in our blood.  But there are narratives we keep that live deeper than our blood.  Some rest in our joints. Others go to our bones.  Our brains can
