Yesterday we got boosted. I feel like crap. Is it the weekend already? Everyone I speak to is either sad or mad. The deer missed one. Or, then, I thought, they left me one. And that made me glad. Glad feels good. A relief. I took this picture because it seemed a nice way to capture the idea of community. All at different stages of whatever it will be, but still together somehow on the path to how it will […]

Soul-o has found a spot, a makeshift tent under the quilt draped on the now worktable. Especially when the Fox comes by to snack on a squirrel or two. Which is quite often now. Or when the two coyotes use the path in the woods to go wherever they are going in the early evening. Or just to nap in the peak heat of the day. A breeze blows through. Magnolia did not have an easy spring. The climate was […]

Good Morning. That’s it, no fancy words. Just to say , the indigo has begun to grow like a weed here.

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. The bigger, even if it is simply a kind of respect, acknowledgement of the smallness of self, I think temple can be used like that. Not sacred space but a […]

Mantra Sanskrit Derived from the word think. Thought catching then. Repeating the sense of this floating through time. Maybe at least 9 times. This one, time is more obviously not standing still. And perhaps the nine, more obviously a kind of personal logic, to hold something. I am not a Buddhist. I am trying to remind myself. about Just Going. Maybe I am a NINE-ist. Clever,,, but really, I don’t like to call myself anything. Labels divide us.

What if, was the question. What if Trust could be something like floating through time? That simple. I’ve been distracted from things here, the Zone and almost everything I think I need to be doing. This small cloth brought back some simple peace. Actually growing from ideas about living on a houseboat from years back. Also a what if. We are older now, but still, floating through time. With questions and the same sense that floating brings. And then, the […]

Looking here. Looking has become quite an activity. Or, really, just passing by. Humming to myself. The back of one cloth over another. Some scrap over that. And now Grow over that. Sometimes I just live with this, forgetting about what might be underneath, for a long time. Maybe forever. Moving through days as needed. I drew some lines with a sharpie. I pinned some cutouts. But mostly I don’t know. What if it is just ok? The illusion, in […]

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?

It’s a good question no matter who you are and what you think. This is she, from Magic Cloth 2, (most recently renamed to Spin) but she, when I say she, that’s me. Here, inside out. But I will always recognize her. I didn’t get to answering comments yesterday. I will. I have a lot of indigo seeds here, I planted some to see if they have what it takes. Seeds will not always grow. Anyway, if they are good, […]
