Just waiting ...

For what, you might ask?  I really can't say. There are times when I just find things to do, or that need to be done, to pass the time, cause I don't feel particularly focus or energized.

That's why I make lists - every day - crossing off the things I've finished and adding new things. Simple things like, "do the dishes," or "vacuum," to more dreaded and complicated things like "clean kitchen cupboard," or even worse, "underneath bathroom sink." Ugh. I once found a black widow spider, so I am a bit loathe.

But yes, lists. When I'm in Limbo-land, while a book is in production, I try to get on with the next one, doing things that don't require creative thought. There's a lot of that in these books - all the pre-lim border stuff, for instance, which can eat up lots of time. So I do it all now; then when I'm "engaged" fully, I can make progress quickly.

So I assume this would apply to lots of other people's lives. It's always good to have something you do that is exciting and meaningful, but while you're waiting for things to develop, get all that junk done that just sits and accumulates - like the stuff in the back of your closet.

    Seems clear to me - if we don't learn to love our home, we're going to lose it—or at least access to it, as IT will most likely survive us, if not entirely intact. So the primary goal of this website is to engender curiosity about something in nature—anything, whether it's an amoeba or the oceans. Whatever does it for you —get active, if you can, or get interested and support, if you're like me and are not able or inclined to tromp around in the woods.

    I am an artist and writer, living off grid, in a strawbale house on the high mesa near Taos, New Mexico.  I have four cats, and live amongst a variety of wildlife including, but not limited to: coyote, pronghorn antelope, elk, endless bunnies and jackrabbits (and myriad other rodents), ravens, mountain bluebirds, rattlesnakes, and tarantula.  



    The cats stay in, everything else stays out.
