I went to hang Heal outside. I ended up with many questions. Is this a hickory nut? Are these hickory leave? Are these edible?

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 […]

So this, posted on Instagram yesterday. A NEW DAY. in the works forever. Right before I took this picture, I took the one below. And there I was hiding, sort of. Part of me. Perhaps I love layers because I see them so clearly in myself. Seasons are layers, layers of time, although we often represent them as part of a circle. It feels more real , the experience of layers… than the circle that is so much bigger than […]

There was a storm. A small branch fell from an overhead tree to the deck below. The young morning glory, previously supported by a wooden skewer was hanging down, knocked over by the heavy rain. I stuck the branch into the soil, for it to lean on, before going to bed. In the morning, this. I really like looking at Freedom over Grow. And how it seems to have become some sort of personal medicine wheel. It seems as wet […]

Yesterday’s Green. Everything. How can it not be about green in these days? I think I will take the summer off from writing here. Just go with pictures and talking. There is enough writing going on elsewhere. I did a bit of green storming today, you know, thoughts that arise with the word green. They weren’t surprising. greenstorming greening

Half faced. An eclipse of self I was thinking. Then how much the moon can teach us. About the temporary. And the constancy. Of appearing and disappearing. How to work with that. Use it actually, to get a sense of how it is, was, might be. Might always be. So it’s magic. To me, how things appear and disappear. Not as in trickery or illusion, but as a real part of going. Like night into day and back again. […]

These pictures and text were cut and pasted from my old blog. Click to enlarge. A post from around this time last year as I floundered around trying to hold myself together, focused on larger cloth. Now, I’m circling. This is one of my methods for reconsideration. Today I am going to create a project page for GROW. To gather it’s story. Because I am back in it. Maybe it’s the season. Yesterday, this happened. What if everything can be […]

I love this picture. The longing in it. Many seeds were started in April. They were so hungry for more sunlight. I planted most everything yesterday. While lost in a field of thought. I think we have crossed over. April’s pathwork. april The Old Blog is still protected. When you leave a blog unattended for a while, spammers can move in. I am fiddling and cleaning but I think it has lived its life. Valerianna
