This isn’t advice, it is just what came to mind while testing the writing over the picture thing, changing colors so the letters were still visible. It worked. I am settling down like the season. Looks like snow coming? It really is about time for this endless summer to come to a close. I just sense the change will seem sudden. More sudden that I am used to. I added a thread line by splitting hairs, the same method […]

You know you are home when you can be yourself. I slept well. That has not been happening too often. Things become a pattern, especially when you worry about them. You know what I mean. Trying to sleep well or trying to be happy, that doesn’t work. It’s early morning, And I love this photo. Where I left off last night. I wore myself out imagining peace, brushed my teeth, went to bed and woke up just before dawn.

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 […]

Continued from here… I added two loose dyed patches, parts of them. Because they were left over and it seemed they might express that time was passing and Earth Home is on fire. And below, what a Japanese beetle left me this morning.

Order. Personal Order, then Natural order. All seemingly, over a lifetime of illusion, part of Chaos. Life forms. The tendency to make sense of it all. Today I laughed while thinking about myself writing a book when I hardly ever read one. Also I realize I might not really enjoy it. The process. Then while thinking back to how many times I’ve said it’s not the thing it’s the journey. And then asking myself what if writing a book has […]

Continuing. From here. I made a circle using the Double Running Stitch aka the Magic Stitch when it is done in black and white. I think really I should rename it the Double Walking Stitch. You have to go slowly. And there are more things to say. But not today. Loose thoughts are on my mind and then imaginings on how they might come together. And then of course the question. What If it doesn’t much matter? Followed quickly by […]

Just Because she was present here on the porch. It’s 7 AM and already 65. The chill has past. Bees are a-buzzing. She, the spider, is hiding under the cloth now. Probably fairly true to color. The porch wall might not be the best place to photograph. Color seems to change there. But color is not a “thing” anyway, it is a relationship between the eye and the brain and the moment. Anyway, the roof is a deep red, I […]

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
