quietly here

Patching together some new peace, maybe, which is indeed a very thin cloth. Hoping for some rain. I will be back to regular posting later this week. Hope you are all just fine.

the simplest centering
by jude
When a pattern emerges, it is easy going. I am patching first and adding the circles as I go. Not measuring, just the best I can. How it looks right to me. I suddenly thought about centering, how that is really about balance. Balance is often a feeling, a sense, not a measurement. I wonder, if it seems balanced to me, will it feel balanced to you, and if so, would it be for another reason? I see cat hair. […]

My pace has slowed
by jude
Pace slows. Everybody knows. Probably I have listened to too much Leonard Cohen. As slow as I go, though, a pattern always emerges. Pattern might be considered a kind of reach. Or then, maybe the opposite. Does repetition strengthen, or dilute?

They have been soaking since last fall. Frozen on and off for months, thawed and smelling spicy. The dyepo(e)ts stay out on the porch most of the time. Gotta move them anyway. We need an outside fire pit. Should think about that again. But, in terms of frame, […]
Being in May

It is warm and sunny and I am going outside to plant more morning glories. Maybe build a […]
Coming Around
by jude
Humid, way hot, yet turning. The light begins to seep through the tired foliage. We are opening to autumn. I am back to the circle that I drew on Grow, tracing the edge of the round glass table it sits on. Maybe it just defined my current reach. Now red, like a ring of fire.

The Sanity of…
by jude
A Deeper Place I have been in this Frame of Mind, working on this one for a long slow while. And slow rose up in my mind this morning, as a word, as a a concept, as the buzzword. Maybe slow is not about speed. Many times things catch on because they are easy, or they are an excuse rather than an idea. Like ragged edge, boro, turns into an excuse not to turn the edge rather than the many […]
