Rain. Just constant rain since I last posted.
Woke up this morning. Rain. Just that sound, rain. Sun's up but you can hardly tell. Rain all day today, tonight and most of tomorrow. No wind though, just a slow nagging rain. And pain, the arthritis kind. Time for tumeric tea.
But. With the focus on dark and light, night and day, this cloth I call Grow has filled the need for a little Equinox cloth. I am about halfway around. It's a big circle. Even with the variations, there is a rhythm to it. Dark and light are dancing... maybe I can be held by that for a while. Like cricket song. Let it rock me.
This is an old loose page from the Real Journal. It was posted on the old blog and I found it in a pile of loose stuff. I like it. Rainy days are good for stitching and sorting through loose thoughts.
Definitely better than no rain unless you are floating away. I’m enjoying the browns in this one.
yeah, hard to say when enough is enough.
browns are very grounding.
right now all I can think of is mud…
Love the little drawing! Hope the rain stops soon for you.
Thanks, eventually but bleh…😎
sorry for your arthritis pain. I remind self to think of it as my body working through big stuff, rather than settling into decline.
yes, a useful perspective.
Too much rain. Not enough…seeking the Balance. Your lovely Cloth helps…
life…the seeking.
Love this sketch. Do you see the little bear there in the left hand lower corner. He’s standing with his nose up against the puddle looking up. So cute.
always something to find in a paint puddle, like clouds.
Black and white added to cloth always feels like a magic touch to me!
Ginger handbaths are supposed to help. With some cayenne in it if preferred.
Getting ready to try myself.
Wishing you relief
my hips are the problem at the moment. Too much sitting…
Here in MN too.. the September Rains.. Heavy spurts mostly at night, then drizzly, then a bit of brightness.. I just prepare to dash outside between the drops to do errands, and otherwise nestle in with projects. Soon I will be heading back to being a desert rat.. although I have seen predictions of a cold winter there this year. I may have to bring my propane heater! It is hard with arthritis in my back to wake to freezing temps!
for me arthritis is always the worst when the weather swings suddenly one way or the other…
The black and white edge makes everything inside of it come more alive! Beautiful.
Magic!
To share…yes. It’s like someone hit a switch around here, fall came in stormy and poof any sense of summer was gone. I love turmeric tea. It makes my tummy happy. 🙂
Some leaves turning this morning.
Tumeric is so good.
The Real Journal. Love your illustration of catching the rain…how you catch your thought!
Grow is amazing like a lens bringing something into focus.
Catching thoughts is my real goal I guess, to see who I am. A circle is certainly like a lens…
Your writings and drawings brighten my mornings Jude!
💙 And I thank you!
Well you are cheerful and that’s a bit of sun!
