The Stream in 4 Seasons- April, August, October, December 2022- Blog and Vlogs by Ursula Carrie

NOTE: I completed the final edits of this chronology of The Stream, late night, on January 16, 2023

[INTRO-January 18, 2023- TEXT excerpted 

from my Instagram post of this day.] 

When I turned the camera on, on April 13th, 2022, I had no intention of compiling a chronology of The Stream in the 4 Seasons. I simply felt like taking a little video of this little place that I Love so much, hidden away under a bridge on my road. It's a place that you wouldn't notice when you're driving, only if you're out walking, which very few people, I think, on this road do.

✨Later that evening, this whole blog (text on the video) poured out through my Heart. I thought I was going to post it right away- but that didn't happen.

✨But I saved everything and, as the seasons progressed, I just found myself returning to this spot and taking more footage- which became [vlogs]- of the stream.

✨Before I knew it, I had a whole Story of The Stream, in all 4 Seasons.

I originally created this videography to share on my Instagram, but I wanted to share this with You. To share my Love for this Stream that has been a part of my life for so long, even when I'm here nestled quietly in my apartment, 187 feet away...

💓 With Love and Flowing Water Blessedness,

Rev. Ursula Carrie

187 ft west of the end of the driveway (I measured it on Google Maps! Lol) is this little bridge that you'd hardly notice while driving over it.

I always used to like to stand here for a bit, on the South side of the road, when I used to take long walks (before I got sick).

I liked to look down and watch the minnows swim (no minnows, yet)- in the little area of the stream that formed a sort of still pool, just under the bridge.

Here: is the stream that I hear on summer nights, with the living room windows open, after a good rain; the wetlands where the peepers peep; where the mallard and his lady make their nest; where the coyotes run, twice a year; where the Hawks hunt; where some of My Crows call home, at the edge of the forest. 

My curiosity brought me down here this day, on the way back from the mailbox, to scout for signs of the Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) that I harvested near here (just before the bridge in the wet ditches) last year. Not yet. The roadside has been pretty torn apart by the winter, so I guess I'll see if it comes back in this place.

But for now, this Moment- just remembering how much I love this Sacred Water, and all of our Beautiful Streams in the Catskills.

Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

And- Thank You for Being Here.

Love,
Ursula Carrie

Thanks to the wonderful @madgirlovesongs [Instagram] for this opening photo, that I saved many months ago. I woke up with this image so strong in my mind and my Energy Fields today. This video, the Inspiration to Create it, completely consumed me all afternoon until it was complete. . The description of Crow Medicine is screenshotted from a random website, instead of going to the trouble of photographing it from my Medicine Cards book by Jamie Sam's and David Carson (gifted to me over 25 years ago). It is not the complete description. I excerpted what I wanted to say about it.

with Crow Medicine for the past 25 years...]

Covitude [one] The Longcovid Journey Begins.

Yesterday. April 19th 2022. 2 Years. 

It was a Sunday. I set the clock to wake me up at 8:30 that morning. I was excited the night before. I planned to go Plant Prayer Number 7. When the phone went off to wake me up, I couldn't move. My tongue, my throat and upper chest were burning- as if someone had lit a gas fire in my body.

I was a woman that had never been sick. I'd never had a head cold that lasted for more than 24 hours in well over a decade. I've never had the flu. ‘Never had a flu shot.

I had even been wearing out in public, since March, the N95 mask that I had (fortunately) stashed in my toolbox, given to me by my employer for a deep dusting task (I was a housekeeper to a 79 year old woman) and never used. I'd already lost my work in the middle of March 2020, due to the pandemic, and I’d taken my car off the road to save the little bit that I had in my savings account. So, I hadn't been going very much of anywhere and when I did I wore that mask. I'd only had contact with one person where I wasn't wearing the mask- and that contact was two weeks to the day before the symptoms started to come on.

I had been well aware of what was going on- since January 2020 when the first news report came out from Washington State. I had been sanitizing my hands and my groceries LONG before anyone in my community even acknowledged the presence of COVID. I swore that this would never happen to me- I had been so careful, and I was SO healthy, invincible.

When I woke up with my tongue my throat and upper chest burning, I knew immediately what was happening but I was in denial. It took me the entire morning into the early part of the afternoon to pull myself together enough- the fever already beginning to rage- to go out to the spot where I planned to Plant Prayer Number 7.

And I went about my work all the way until I got home, made a thank you video for the subscribers and then collapsed into bed- the fever starting to take over my body...

Thank You for Reading and Thank You for Being Here.

Love,

Ursula Carrie
