Head on

Sometimes, actually lately, I realize more clearly that just about everything will simply become as I look at it.  See it.  And that's as close to  how  it is  that I  can hope to ever know.

This is a gold finch.  Not the clearest shot but  surprising really.  In so many ways.

While I was away, a few things here at WordPress changed.  Nothing new really, we have all seen what technology glitches can do. This is just a blog, not the end of the world,  I will just face it as it comes.

 

I wanted to do a post in the Forever Zone yesterday, and then today, but I am just not up to it.   There are stories but I am not up for that either.  I am thinking a lot about puzzles though.  Especially those where the pieces might not exactly fit as expected.  But then how maybe we imagine one thing and then it doesn't turn out that way but then it doesn't matter.  Form still emerges. That liquid puzzle.

building with leftovers.

But then really,  it's all about the trying.  The value is there,  and new form is simply a reminder of that.

I keep playing with this simple form, I think because it is like looking at my selves head on. And I need that right now.

I'm kinda back, but I think I may be posting in the evening rather than the morning for now, we'll see.

Anyway, Hey Ho.

    I am learning to see that there are numerous ways to live, to respond, to live life as it happens. Just like one kind of puzzle, I can step outside the lines and try out different arrangements.

    Ooo, the meandering seeming in the body of the cat!! I’ve been thinking about how to use that technique in a similar way. Glad to see you here. I wish that I could make my brain want to repeat the same form. To see an idea evolve, reflect. Instead I’m Scattered. Unfocused. Like my eyes right now. 🤣

    Hey Ho. beautiful green, garden-legs selves. Your stitching on the body just amazes me. I am so honored to be a ragmate on your journey; especially on such introspective days.

    “everything will simply become as i look at it”… or let it be. nice to be agenda-less. your trail of thought always leads to somewhere interesting. thinking about how “form still emerges”. the excitement of now knowing what it will be. hope u can sense our collective love for u, garden legs!

    Oh the many puzzle pieces can fit together often more ways than one, surprisingly with time we figure a smoother transition. Evenings are good, more opportunities for golden visitors sharing their light! 🙌🍃🌼💫

  7. Yes, all about the trying. Puzzles, how things fit together…definitely something to think about. Liquid puzzles became liquid edges to me. Thinking about goop (cornstarch and water). It’s liquid and solid, depending on how you interact with it. Something to make with Bruno sometime. 🙂 Garden legs is beautiful.

      yes edges, even alignment.
      Looking forward to playtime with Bruno.
      Can’t believe how many kinds of legs I am imagining…

    “Garden legs” is shimmery. “Oh, look what she did there! And there!” So much to marvel at in these self pieces and you do them with apparent ease. I marvel. Read a reminder the other day that nothing that comes and goes is me. That lightened things up. Thanks for sharing just whenever you feel like it.

    Oh, how I love that green Garden Cat! Gotta say, today I cleaned windows and washed curtains…and how difficult to do these things with hand and foot arthritis! I told my curtains I may not be back for a while. No LOL, as things just get harder as we age…I am accepting it. How can I not? Jude, I think about you and your struggles. I wish you peace and acceptance of Change. Love you.🌿

    Wow! What a splash of color he is. And your greens — yum. For someone who implies she’s not sure what she’s up to at the moment, you certainly put up a good front and give us all something about which to muse. Hey-ho, yourself.

    Hey ho, yourself! (Selves!)
    I think right now we all just going…however slowly.
    Sometimes, just Be-ing is good enough
    The Whirled is so twirly right now, I’m not sure I have the energy to keep up.
    I keep procrastinating
    Ha!!

    💚 your stitchwork here…and wow! What a bird! 💛
