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.
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.
I’m liking that Green cat with the striped ears and face. Changes, that does seem to be the way of things…
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. 🤣
Welcome back, Jude! Thanks so much for checking in and sharing your new Self – beautiful!! I always really appreciate your thoughts and the comments from other ragmates . . . I’m continuing to send you lots of positive energy!
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.
the journey only deepens…
“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!
💞
hey
I feel it!
I love the imaginings you share with us…both in cloth and words. Sending hugs🦋
imaginings break barriers in a way.
hugs back
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! 🙌🍃🌼💫
it is so much about easing…
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…
Always happy to see your return and get a glimpse of your world 🙂
Hey!
“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.
When I allow myself to be myself, it is all easy. Lighter is better.
“Nothing that comes and goes is me” – I wrote this one down, it will be a new mantra!
Sending love and silver linings for your clouds.
🤍
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.🌿
i’m working my way up to mowing a a bit of tall grass.
we go, peace by peace.
Indeed we do.
Love your garden cat self, and your finch in a Macintosh!
Welcome kinda back.
kinda is ok!
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.
Going with the flow, the flow is always there…
❤️❤️❤️
😁
The green green greenie girlwomancatcrone one!!!
💚👋
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! 💛
Twirly indeed. Eek!
It is so good to see you, head on 💚
Ha!
Going is hard enough sometimes.
Going and sharing is harder.
<3
Working on it…🙃❤️
the little finch seems to be looking intently back at you, listening to your thoughts. He gets it…
It felt like that
Now in the 80s, going is hard enough, but then hasn’t it always been in one way or another ? So appreciative of this gift of learning to go with the flow. Hey ho, Jude and all ragmates.
Hey ho!
hey ho back at ya!
