The Square. The Box
An old joodle on an old wall in my new home. above it an image based on a Navajo sand painting, specifically depicting a Yei figure, often associated with healing ceremonies in Navajo culture. It was here.
And I wrote, back in 2020, just do something...
Just sitting idle, focusing how hard it is to get started is a sure fire way not to get started. Yesterday I sat around tangled up in that. I went back to nine, which , because I have come back to it so many times, has become a circle. Imagine that. I use Nine to find a way. I begin with a square. Probably we all have something we love. Start there. Love is a seed.
How funny , it seems like a book.
I often escape into the past or the future, hope for relief from the day. What if I suddenly understand I need to escape into the present? Like really get it for once? Ok loose me. Let me just practice not holding on to any Thing.
I can no longer provide access to my old classes either here or in the Forever Zone. That has become clear after trying a few things. I am in the process of dismantling them and indexing all the techniques in my glossary which will contain public and private pages. If you have joined the Zone, things will disappear an reappear, just think of it as magic. Your password is the same. New access to private pages will be available in October. I will post a newsletter soon. I'll just go and it'll be what it is.
Thank you for all you have taught us. Sewing makes me happy.
Thank you for sharing your insights and techniques.
❤️
Que sera, sera. What will be will, I woke with Doris Day singing in my head😜
😀
(((Jude))) love your dancing with the changes!
❤️
Escape into the present, that’s probably the best we can do, I’m not good at that though, so thanks for your reminder. I love the nine patch image with the open window!
I hope you’ll be able to “rescue’ your old classes.
And yes, a book ….. would be great, wouldn’t it, it will here for a long long time.
It’s almost the same, rescued scraps, rescued scraps of self .
Those sound like sensible steps forward. Onward and upward
Hey ho!
Let us all dance thru the portal!
Suffering from ennui, myself.
Need a path.
I love the scared being on the wall.
Dancing sounds good.
SACRED being.
😂 I knew that…
Condolences on your internet problems. Technology changes so fast that nothing lasts for long. I gave up blogging long ago; no patience for it.
Love the little painting on the wall; it looks more like a mudhead, the sacred clown and messenger.
Things are changing faster and faster. Not familiar with mudhead.
So, so fast…everything is going so much faster. The moon waxing and waning seems to take only a couple of weeks these days. it’s so weird, but every single month it seems it’s only been weeks…..anyway.
Turning a page . . . or opening a window . . . ?
Almost the same thing!
Awesome nine patch Jude!
Books are my second obsession when I’m tired of stitching, and oddly enough I never enjoyed reading until I hit 50 yrs. old then something clicked on in my brain!
💙🕊
Was never a reader either, just beginning…
💗
Jude~ That leaf shadow! Let’s all be present together, eh? Did you see the quote over at Deb’s bee creative? Just how I’ve been feeling.
xo
Yes!
Hi Jude – All this “cloud” dependency makes me nervous. I am not a blogger, but I am a user of your materials. I enjoy wandering around through your old stuff. I learn, am inspired, and love your work! I can only hope that although this may mean “poof” for us, you will have all your material safely stowed on a hard drive somewhere.
Thank you again for your presence and the effort you take to be there for us. Glad you are finding an “open door” in your 9 patch and some healing with the Yei figure.
It’s a good reminder really, of how fragile this “cloud” really is. Also, how important it is to just trust in what’s possible by just going.
that 9-patch portal into the present made me laugh for joy! the simplicity of turning the page.. “today’s a gift. that’s why it’s called the present.” enjoy the unwrapping. party time! x
Ha!
“Love is a seed.“I will squirrel this away and use at a later day !! I love that idea ! Have a great weekend
You too!
I don’t have a lot of words today, often my escape into the present is listening to the wind, birds and crickets. That’s my plan today. 🧡
Perfect
And we will receive with gratitude whatever emerges! Your communication nurtures me and encourages me to keep moving after a year of loss and change. Your resilience is contagious. Thank you, Jude.
Here we are…going!
Just put my last typepad post up with a link to a new home. I don’t have even close to what you have and it still feels like too much. Ah well.
Great! Found you! How did it go?
I saw that. 🙂 Doesn’t seem as intuitive as typepad but maybe because I’ve been using typepad so long. A few more things to figure out but it’s going to be fine. I really like that I can directly upload videos…I splurged for that.
Yes. It’ll be fine once you get used to it.
My, I love your ideas about how and where and the when of saving your posts. Please consider a magazine style book that might be published not as an entire book at one time but..as a magazine style not hard bound.
with your posts categorized.
Subscriptions???
I would be the first in line! Followed by many old and new followers..alike!
I’ve been looking into that sort of thing…
Escape into the present…I love that idea
I like the images that form…
Lovely leaf. Acceptance, and moving on, both necessary in Life. That Yei figure is no coincidence…
Amazing that it was there and I did not notice it right away.
The present- it is what it is.
And will be what it will be.
And we will adjust and look forward to hearing from and seeing with you.
I look forward to being present
Love that 9 patch!
Me too.
