upsidogi is beginning to see-feel the ripples. the gifts. the triangulations. she feels the gravity.
upsidogi feels fear. upsidogi is preparing to speak with her mother. upsidogi is preparing to speak with parts of herself. upsidogi must summon courage. upsidogi puts on wizard∆peace∆warrior-eyes-oil-flames. upsidogi knows herself, stop-watch-learns herself again and again. she moves slowly and feels-stops-learns before moving. upsidogi prepares to do the together-strong-peace-dance with upsidogi∆mother∆self.

upsidogi stop-watch-learned a new peace-dance yesterday. three humans danced two by two. they sat still. they stop-listened-watch-learned each other, the first time they came together, they did the peace-dance. ripples in a triangle. upsidogi was-is part of this peace-dance. she grew a garden∆world in her and around her for the peace-dance to grow too. yesterday it grew with other humans. the ripples are returning. upsidogi feels-knows-is the peace∆dance that is rippling outward and toward always, now.

upsidogi speaks to her mother. she speaks of what she has experienced, her feels-knows-is. she shares. she cries up. upsidogi's mother stop-listens-feels-learns. upsidogi feels peaceful. upsidogi's mother speaks to upsidogi. she shares her is-feels-knows. she has been help-love-being with her grandchildren. almost-every-day. she sees-feels-learns how music is helping her grandchildren do the peace-dance. upsidogi knows-feels-does this too. upsidogi and mother are peaceful knowing music helps each other.
upsidogi does the peace dance, with herself. for herself. she did not teach herself the dance. but she did have to learn it. because she knew it, and then she hid it. so she had to find the way, to find it and learn it again and teach it-be it. she did it. today upsidogi found the heartbeat in her belly.
upsidogi taught ali and stephie to hid many things. to protect them. upsidogi always knew the peace dance. she hid it to protect it. <Jan 20 VIIII ∆Rinny> upsidogi see-feel-knows now how she protected her-self-gifts. that is how she cared for them. she asked them to wait and they waited. until she knew she could-can now bring them out of hiding. upsidogi was a good protector of herself. she is a good mother to herself. upsidogi sees how she was learning all along. upsidogi trust-trusts herself now. she knows she was-is a protector-mother and can now be a sharer-mother too.
upsidogi does the peace dance with herself-parts-alone-together. upsidogi's hands do the hand-dance, her fingers do the finger-dance. neck does the neck-dance. and together they all do the upsidogi-dance. she sees how she stop-watch-learned herself so she could teach herself. no separate parts only different directions and speeds. only different ways. together∆gifts∆harmony.

upsidogi picks up books that stephie and ali each carried with them. she reads again stories she remembers made her cry up and cry down. and she feels them in a new way, she feels them each time in a new way. she cries up to-with the human stories stephie and ali gift her. she knows-feels her ripple as she reads these stories, each different now, she knows-feels her ripple-self travelling outward, in all directions, ever more slowly. upsidogi stop-reads-learns a book m gifted ali. she forgot-remembers how m and ali survived a battle together. she forgot-remember-feels how ali's mother and m's mother both fought cancer cells at the same now in different places. she remembers-knows-feels how one mother died and one mother lived. ali and m felt-stop-watch-learned this together. they know this part of each other. they fought a battle together-strong-peace-dance. upsidogi cries up.

upsidogi and m sit in a chair that upsidogi pulls up to the window which opens onto the above-the-garden∆world where the ravens and the blue∆dipped∆ravens come and go and the small∆brown∆darts stay because it is their nest too. and upsidogi stop-watch-learns as they find-feel their nest and how here they feel-find each other. they move toward themselves as they stay still together. as upsidogi and m live together, upsidogi stop-watch-learns-feels-sees the shedding, feels them doing the together-stong-peace-dance with themselves and with each other.
