    Quite beautiful.. and labor intensive, it seems… And, I KNOW that look! Once, while painting on a ledge on the side of a goat path, a shepherd stopped. He looked at my sketchbook, then at the view, then back at the sketchbook with that difficult to describe look, smiled politely, and clicked at the goats to continue scrambling up the cobbles…!

    Im remembering a comment from a coworker who couldnt understand why I could do something over and over (I forget what project I was working on during a lunch break). Its mediation and making peace, at least for me.

    The kantha stitch has movement, like a soft breeze moving the cloth. Can see how doing this stitch weaves a meditative spell over you. Each stitch, a breath, each row a quiet energy.
