Matera the Mad @matera@mastodon.sdf.org

She lives in a tree
sleeps in the winter
wakes in the springtime
sings with my voice

Birds are her children
wild beasts her sons
the sea is her daughter
mother of all

Rain is her house
clouds the roof of it
many her windows
lit by the moon

She walks in the meadows
clad only in wind
sweet rivers pour down
from her mountains

When people lived real lives, they didn't need an ad to tell them they needed a bucket to fetch water.

Words are little clamps we put on thoughts to stop the bleeding.

When you speak of "thinking outside the box" you ignore one very important thing: The box is yours. You created it.

In reality, there is no box.

I hate it when I pop in a great search phrase and it turns out to be the title of a book.

On the other hand, the subject of the book is interesting, and the interview with the author is a treat.

Found the coolest rock today. Right on the surface, almost underfoot, but I never noticed it before.

It has fossil patterns, crystal caverns; a whole fantasy landscape the size of my fist.

aw, darn

More outdoor exercise = less sleep

Okay cheese, passable wine. Could ask for more in life, but not likely to get it.

Who once were strangers,
In Mastodon, become friends.

There was this big guy at the farm market with a purple mask. I said, "Purple, YES!" and gave him a fist-pump. You could see the grin. 😜

It's still beautimpusly sunny and there are a shipload of things to do, but I think I'll stay in and play around with paper. Ms. Body is starting to feel tired.

Cacao nibs are very nibby.

My Dark Side is a cute little black unicorn. It pokes me with its sharp horn when I need a reminder.

Hop harvest, part 2 - the north hops produced more than the larger south bines!

Late coffee today; not because I slept late, but I wanted to get out and walk. I haven't been gallivanting around enough 😜

The farm market was not so great, but I went on to the health food store and loaded up with Good Things. Stopped at the library on my way back and left a bit of origami.

When I got home, I started the coffee and then went out to move a load of flagstones.

Now it's time to get some work done! 🤣

Amusing myself by oridoodling butterflies. I like the wing shape of this one. Too bad the paper is brittle and doesn't curve well.

machinepig party out there. I wonder what assholes are celebrating today

Ha, just found something I wanted to look for next time I went there. Now I know they have it.

Check this out. I don't plan to order for pickup for a couple of reasons, but I will certainly use the site for shopping list inspo.
