Always Reconsider

July 9, 2021 by jude

Never be too sure. The ability to change your mind is a never ending opportunity to learn. Especially from each other. Fencing for the garden. That I had decided not to do. For now, I need to stay off my feet. The garden will wait. So I continued stitching this leaf to celebrate growth. And to what I learn at every turn. I had two small slices, not quite halves, of circles leftover from something else… folded the edge of […]

Today I am composed. I am the Composition. I am simply focused, I guess, on what’s here. freedom is Working on the incomplete and bringing them to a point of peace. Letting all else go. Be. I found this, from 101. Just rereading it. No need to change anything, nothing to add.

Yesterday… it was a moon. Today it became a sun. What if that makes it both? I’m splitting hairs…. splitting hairs It’s raining. And I need it. Sun. And I am thinking about sun.

Just testing the option.

I’m generally thinking that to go back to the basics and sort of talk about technique again is sort of guide for me now to fill in the gaps in the Methods Index here. Because it has been so long, things have changed, things have been learned. Considered. Reconsidered. Even forgotten. And this invisible baste now aka glue stitching… there is something to say, each […]

A little Sympathetic Evolution then, as snow fell all day and the guy who plows doesn’t show up and the fuel delivery guy can’t get up the hill because of the ice and the deer came to eat the azalea bushes down to the ground. But then, the beauty in it. Round and Round we go. I took the photos in low lamplight. And then used a filter to make them easier to see and they became a bit sketchy […]
