patchwork

April 13, 2023 by jude

Probably we don’t always say what pops into our heads. Maybe we just say what seems appropriate, clever or inspiring… I am wandering off from that ,in my mind, today. Trying to loosen up. I am 72. 7+2 is 9. Nine inspires a personal kind of order for me. I can find 9 where others can’t. It is quite chaotic and comforting at the same time. There is a sense of peace in that.

Reconsidering Chaos

March 30, 2023 by jude

Imperfection. I wonder why it makes us uncomfortable? It is still a kind of holding. Reassured that Magnolia will bloom this season. It is freezing again this morning, but she will make it. Last year was so sad, but it wasn’t the end. Only small stitching could happen during the man’s eye surgery. It was so quick and the staff so efficient and friendly, I spent most of my time engaged in conversation.

Heart

February 4, 2023 by jude

Just heart in February. All the while thinking of how many ways things might be put together. Hold, And fall apart. The holding. In between appearing and disappearing. Holding. Is that really a thing or a sense of some thing? A little Skitch Skatch then. I added Thingness to the glossary today. I don’t use that word much but I think a lot about it. I am working on a woven base. Because it has been a while and I […]

Slow Growing

January 7, 2023 by jude

2023 Just Going, no Growing. I have been going and going, but have I been growing? I’m old, growing, what can it mean? Growing old. Simply growing up, I suppose that idea has changed for me, maturity. Maybe outgrowing is more like it. I feel something like growing pains. And I am seasoned enough to know what that means. Some things are so slow. Or seem slower than imagined. I suppose, like time, who can understand. Really. Except to feel […]

random unravelings

December 17, 2022 by jude

I love how, in it’s undoing, it holds the scraps of another’s undoing. And how that might build something unknowable but has a sense of appearing. Form. Just noticing, I guess, that everything is always disappearing. And at the same time, in the disappearing, making room for appearing. Sometimes revelation has nothing to do with what others may have already realized. Said. Told you even. It is quite personal. Not a contest to see who got there first. Learning […]

ONE cold and dreary day

November 19, 2022 by jude

Yesterday, simply asking myself a lot of questions. Today trying to answer them. But I think answers don’t apply for very long really. Things are always changing. And I, we, are only human and answers, there aren’t any really. Questions are prompts for considering, and answers , well what if they are just coffee breaks ? Just Sweeping. This morning I asked myself, ” …did you have a good sweep?” And what will my future be? What comes next.

the unlikeliest of forms

November 16, 2022 by jude

Suddenly. Suddenly, a Dreamscape. That which might (hopefully) surprise me. Seems not imagined really, no apparent point of reference. No plan, no reason, no judgement. Nothing to say. Out of context. Just going. Forms collide, context. Still nothing to say. Does saying imply importance? How much do we say that isn’t shaped? Does saying interrupt form?

Never Be Too Sure

November 9, 2022 by jude

Yes. Another post. To see if I can. I think maybe I am going to take a stand. I am going to be who I am, here, without worry. After all, it seems worry has taken over and I don’t have time really, anymore. It can be ok. Just putting what I can here, and if I can’t, well, you can just know it is because I can’t. Sometimes it is like that, in fact that’s just life. I have […]

Into Autumn

September 17, 2022 by jude

Time Warp. That is what it feels like. And for a bit of word play, how much Time Weft? I look at this Alphabet Soup quilt as so long go, and in the background, something more present. But in reality, also so long ago. I woke again at 4 AM, asking where exactly am I , and who the hell am I ? Or more precisely, what will I become? Becoming. Is there such a thing? Is there time […]
