Hat Full of Sky

Did I ever tell you about my wonderful husband? 


When he was younger he had a special prayer chair made out of a Catalpa tree.  He said that the seat was about 60 feet off the ground and it was made just for him.  He could see for miles!  Closer to the Spirit Which Blows Through All Things, too.  For a Taurus, that's pretty far away from Earth :-)


Dragonflies are his friends, and he talks to squirrels; makes this funny squinching sound and they stop and look, coming closer to see who this tall two-legged squirrel is.  Maybe it's a relative!  

The world hands him treasures all the time.  I mean, the man can find fossils, the coolest rocks, pictures in spiderwebs, faces in tree bark, and well, all sorts of amazing stuff without even trying!  The pachamama just hands it over to him :-)  Well, of course he spent years and years gaining her trust, cementing their relationship and reassuring her that he would never harm even the smallest of her children.  

As Terry Pratchett says, he has the sky for his hat and the wind for his coat.  He clothes himself in sunlight, the scents of flowers and the sounds of All Our Relations.  Grass for shoes and rain for his bathing suit. 


Pachamama isn't quite sure of me yet, but I think maybe she's beginning to thaw just a little.  Because she trusts him, and I'm apparently a friend of his :-)

My honey says the sweetest things. Thank you, dear. Made me tear up a bit reading this... but happy tears :-) I think you're every bit as amazing, well loved & connected to the All of All Things, my beautiful husband, as I. If I have helped open some doorways for you, (or just made you aware of a few new ones) I dance in delight. You have certainly opened enough of them for ME!

I'm quite sure that, years ago, when I was up in my prayer tree, my most fervent & earnest of prayers was to have a man I could love who would love me, the real me, in return.

Seems that prayer got answered!
