Took my journal and camera up the hill today, trying to notice small things well, but so many electrically, Life-filled creatures kept flying over, i was “distracted by being”, as they say. Started thinking about Adam and Noah, and others, trying to name and then re-order or preserve the animal kingdom in their unique identities-how to say zebra correctly, is a huge and difficult thing, even in english, like naming a child. For it calls forth identity. I loved that movie Noah, just because it made you think about it-how to co-name the creatures, and haven their identities. Anyways, wrote this: On Noah’s watch today… I saw shrub jays, bumble bees, and felt other buzzing things, humingbirds and ravens, mostly; perhaps a hawk will come by..I’ll keep watching for them all…until i see them well, until we see us into being ourselves. And, then, return thanks, as we must, in order to know and trust our own names.
