Oh this is a glorious one…she is moving and dreaming. And right…the wispyness and moth-ness. I remember from long ago an essay by Jung, I think, about the song of the moth…this evokes that…

the wispy silk gauze carries the movement of the spirits within it. the moth / butterfly is moving up that spirit trail.( i really dont know the difference between them but this seems more like a moth somehow) the colors you have chosen are (for me) a link to the spirit.. blues and hints of green with a touch of the red and orange. since you used the blue with a tinge of green in it fabric as an under fabric, you have wisely put the spirit in a greenish cast, as is the moon. then the moth has a bit of green too… all the layers tie together now. that was a brilliant choice on your point. the colors are in harmony with the person and sun using a bit of red orange…. along with the coppery stars. the bit of cocoon on the bottom holds the eye as a cloud does with its billowy form… another thing of spirit….maybe what the spirit trails. this may not make any sense to you but it is how i see it… i could go on but there are only so many characters you are allowed…i will wait for a new stitch or two… i will say that the person depicted here is one of the ones who knows spirits.

When I saw this cloth first thing this morning, I thought This is all about finding your wings. I didnt write anything then because I was wondering if more would come to me. It hasnt, except that I can sense a feeling of spirit on this one as others have expressed. But, I still feel like its saying find your wings and soar.;~) Debi

Ritual – holding up the cloth to the wind and receiving…spirit. Whether you did this or not grace, I did it symbolically for you yesterday. Winds were fierce, and it was cold but I held up the cloth you sent re the invisible baste and asked for the continual blessing of spirit to enfold you. And I come here this morning and Nance has felt that spirit as have others and I know that it has nothing to do with my ritual and everything to do with what you birth in your cloth. Clarissa Pinkola Estes has this line at the end of her Wolves book, in the afterword of story as medicine: In the most basic ways there is a spirit, both holy and whole behind our age-old rituals;and we tell stories when we are summoned by their covenant with us, not vice versa.So on this most special month, your birth month, continue to listen to the summons from the wind, the land, your history, your heart, your soul for we await the stories that come from your cloth.
