centers are supposed to be perfect.   What If they are not?  Do they Have to be?  What does an imperfect center imply?

looking Up at her,  the feeling of her is different.  Straight on,  there is a softer quality.  i like that.  i'd been wondering if i should "correct"  her right eye.   i think not.

    ok…my immediate thought to your comment was…nooooo,
    that’s just making an excuse….
    but i caught myself mid thought and said…Hold it, grace.
    maybe. there HAVE been many centers, or differing forms
    of The center???? and they are all AT the center…aren’t they???, i think yes. so maybe so many centers get
    puckered up and well, i don’t mind puckers at all, really.
    but that said
    i guess i just need to look more. not jump to a conclusion.
    but, lookie here, Jude….i didn’t give up……

    maybe there could just be a space there. maybe there is, maybe the center is a space.

    and maybe too it implies something about that thing of
    spiraling in/spiraling Out. that each time, there is
    a fraction of difference. each time IN each time Out
    we adjust where the Center is. What if the center moves?
    What if it is “supposed” to?

    What’s wrong with space? What would a central portal into space look like? This comment only applies if you’re refering to the pie wedge white.

    hi Grace. the first sentence here, “centers are supposed to be perfect”–really opened my eyes. caused my brows to shoot UP. looked again. did Grace say that? hmmm i’m thinking. perfect? really? well, if so, i much prefer the imperfect center you model here. perfection may be overrated.
    and the long-legged kid. it is getting to be the season isn’t it. the coming forth time. birthings. ah yes.

    “What does an imperfect center imply?”
    I know my inclination would be to cover the center with a circle appliqué, or stitch it down–but I suspect that says a whole lot more about ME wanting to hide the imperfect than it does as an answer to your question. Yipes!
    (Love the little long-legged one.)

    hurray for the goat, long-legged kid I learn here, hurray for the long-legged kid
    interesting how we see the imperfect center from our own viewpoints and the kid as just the kid
    I’m in the (try &)embrace-the-imperfection-corner, that’s saying a lot about me, I know….

    a long time ago I went for a walk up a small waterfall with a young billy goat, his idea of fun was to butt me off the rock edge, fortunately I was young and wild too and we could both play that game!!
