I
had a heart “wobble” early this morning but I felt it coming on for the last three days. When it was done, I felt
“halved” and strangely drained. Even though I brought up the website I was too drained to work on it. All day
I’ve simply done what was needed in that moment, which is so unlike the way I usually live. We made
it through the inspection, it turned out to be a pleasant experience, but I was feeling so funky I kept pushing Cat away.
he ended up with intense diarrhea and puked up all three meals on the carpet before he just kept his distance from me…Now
he’s understandably hungry and we both finally slept…in one another’s arms. Then I felt well enough to
make lunch and sleep for a couple of hours. As I woke slowly to the ending of this precious Shabbat, I had an almost spiritual
encountered with Anamosa in 1917 and I knew EXACTLY how I was going to write the book! She has been a part of me since Big
Ed started to call me that when I was eleven. It’s time to tell her story!….and with it. another piece of mine!
With the passing of ninety-seven year old lawman, Paul
Lee McWhorter, the life at the ranch he built above the deserts at Lake Lohotan to preseve the site sacred to the
People for thousands of years remained unchanged -outwardly - as it passed to the next generation, but the world of 1917 has
a little in common the life he lived in the years of social change and upheaval after the American Civil War as his Miwuk
granddaughter's life has in common with her beloved grandmother Speckled Bird, the mother of Paul's McWhorter's only child,
Spring Rayne.

Cat woke me from a sound sleep by touching his claws into my hand so I'd left
the 'blankie" and allow him to go under to his accustomed place at the crook of my knees when I sleep during sunlight.
It shocked me awake and I stood on the threshold of that moment, the image vividly seared into my consciousness! Part Wendy
in "Peter Pan", sewing Peter's shadow to his feet so it couldn't run away, part "Nardia's Closet", part
the horror of JR Rowlin's televised comments that she 'intended' Harry and the other children to 'grow up and the stories
become darker', I was saddened with an adult's bittersweet awareness of truth. A Child's imagination is the greatest
gift, after innocence, which is corrupted necessarily by the demands of growing up and providing for oneself.
