Good Morning.
The Inside Out Nine surfaced.
I think I feel myself moving into audio format , once again, and finally. It fits to my capability and time constraints at this point, both here and in the Forever Zone. It helps me also spend less time staring at the screen and editing etc. It also seems to keep me more honest and in the moment. Even if it turns out to be less engaging. Ha!
I am really enjoying your audio messages to us, Jude. Your voice is quietly engaging, and feels meditative to me personally anyway. Your pace and cadence is so real, and I feel like I’m leaning in to experience what you share. It is a meaningful experience. Thank you.
thank you for saying, I’m leaning into it, it seem more natural.
Talking is good. 🙂 I am feeling messy on the inside and the outside at the moment…
oh, that too!
Soul-0:
“Look into my eyes & tell me what you’re thinking!”

he is listening
What’s inside of us, how we finish those edges for the world to see. I think everyone has those messy edges…I know I do!
xo
That’s all I got to show, but I hold on with something unnamed.
Rings true and well said!
Rings true and well said!
I hope your “ new home” will be cooler and a little bit dryer than this summer has been …fewer mosquitoes!!
NY has seemed more like East Texas??
Yeah, no mosquitoes where I am looking..
“The mosquitos are the size of small planes.”
Stitching, quilting, piecing, there are ways to show or to hide in plain site what’s going on; there’s a power to be had there.
and the bites are bigger.
the power in realizing the depth in form
I can’t imagine giving up that view. Hopefully you will find something equally as soothing when you move. I laughed aloud when I saw the little creature that photo- bombed Soul-O.
Yes, I’ll be searching for a green view…
Love the audio format.
I’m glad, me too.
Oh those eyes—awake and alert.
Yet soft…
I don’t think the voice only format is less engaging, especially because one can be looking at the the images on the post while listening to you speak.
Love the creatures that are photo bombing Soul-o. And I so relate to life in the forest, if one doesn’t stay on top of the clearing, suddenly, there are huge trees that shade out the clearing. That’s what’s happening here, so I need to have a few cut down and stay on top of the yellow birches that pop up everywhere! Easier to do if you mow everywhere, but not everywhere is mowable here, nor do I want to cut everything down… it’s a lot of work to be selective about what you want to grow and what you don’t!
Well, I can ramble, but we’ll see.
It’s a jungle here. The sumacs I cut in September grew to 15 feet already. It is time for a trim before hurricane season, so I might sell this place in one piece. 😂
Wow, 15′!
Too hot!!!🥵 to go outside for even one minute. I’ll stay inside as usual and keep stitching. 💙✌🏼
I know the feeling!
Me too. Too hot for too long
Enjoy the coolness. I side out makes me think of Boro cloth where often it’s hard to decide which side is more beautiful.
They are inseparable…
Oh, how sweet to see little bear waving a hello.
Ha! Yes! ❤️
The little “thingies” photobombing Soul-O’s photo make me giggle, especially the bear that seems to be waving. And I too love your audios. I find that I study the photos of your work in a deeper way while I listen.
💕
It makes me see more when I look and talk. Expands my vision and slows my thoughts.
August is always an inside looking out month for me as well. Hot, humid, droves of blood-thirsty mosquitoes ( yes! I totally get it! 🦟🛩️ Hah)
Love your thoughts here💚
And the “blue” 😻
PS…60!? 🤯 The only way I’d feel that cool here in August would be hanging out in the freezer section at the grocery store! HAHA …& don’t think I haven’t lingered there a time or two😅🤣
“BLUR”…drat autocorrect, anyway 🙄
Unbelievable swing in temps, for a few days, yay!
Inside Out. Outside In.
It’s all One. I love hearing your calming voice…
Exactly.
a celebration of seams! nice contrast between the softly dyed, barely-there cloth ‘n the crisp black ‘n white edges. like the difference between the spoken word ‘n the printed word. always nice to hear your voice…
I can always talk. Or sing.
Good morning, Soul-O…what a bright eyed beauty!
Very playful today.
that second photo is the one!
Yeah…
Your voice is no less a blessing than your words and photos. Tiny celebration kisses on Soul-O’s head! So glad he is feeling better.
I talk to myself anyway…
Love the verdant view. And that your kitty feels so much better!
Thanks for showing the back of your work ✌
No lack of geen, gratitude or sides here…😂
