waiting till it is warm enough, till the fire catches hold. waiting till it is light out, a little at least enough to see the stitch of the wind and i just hold the cloth…it is so
soft, light
and again, i watch what happens when i hold it to the lamplight.

I can see the wind! Light and dark. Now silhouetted like shadow-puppets, they seem almost behind a fine veil. But her presence is so strong like she will be standing there forever if that is what it takes. Haunting and beautiful.

i used to do workshops on mask making, using strips of
casting tape to cover a persons face. when you take them
off and turn them, so that inside faces out, when they
are lit by candle light, a holographic image appears
of a face looking Out. interestingly, quite often it
was an entirely Different face…???…
