Earth Seed of Earth: Foundation

8.2.10

Earth Seed of Earth is a time inside the alchemical process that calls to us to begin. Our life is continually becoming, pregnant with thought, a mental alchemy, and from this we begin to create, to imagine, to do what we had begun to see.

This day has been absolutely beautiful and I could feel the lift in its very nature. Robert & I began this day slowly, gently, like handling a new life. Then we gradually entered with the food of our assimilation; spinach pesto, popping beans, and making benedictine. These are the foundation of the creativity we will expand into.

We fixed a Caesar's Salad with chicken for lunch, then began to feel more of what is beginning. Very grounded work, even cleaning, will help us build our foundation, because in these times, and right before, it is difficult to think or figure, so we both need to do things we know well, or that will engage us without any extra inner travel.

We later kayaked on water, just floated around, which really helps our bodies expand. We then began, on water, a new body of work that we will draw on water together, photograph the process, and then put in a show.

It was an accordion book, so we started it across, and between, our two kayaks. It was very fun and fulfilling, because we have started a new cycle, and it has moved more room, than any that we have begun before. We have begun on the waters of Terra Firma, which provides a secure foundation, which if tended with care, can support many projects.

Saw a bald eagle above us this evening, as we walked along the river. Eagles are about the big picture and they are over the air, earth, and water.
