space again
by jude
I seem to be lost in space dreams. But not outer space. Inner space, what ever that means, I just wrote that, now I will think about it.

everything can float
by jude
So I guess it could all be like a game, if you remove the drama, and just stand back and watch things floating around and wonder how they will settle out.

The Temple of Going
by jude
Maybe Temple is not a good word. It’s connection to religion. Worship. Not my thing. In any form. Somewhere along the way, I was told, never talk about God, it will drive people away. I never take advice. Know me, I say. But, so, connection to something outside one’s self.

I had spread it on the floor, to look. Covered in cat […]

Season and Healing
by jude
Early this morning. A photo. Just finished stitching the last square. New seasons are upon us. I wonder how they will become for us. Heal. A quilt on the wall is one thing, but up close you are in it somehow. And that is what it is for. How joyously soft this seems to me now, like once upon a time when nine was not even a memory. A field of loose puzzle pieces. Once upon a time when there […]
