a Lot of invisible baste.   which is well, pretty invisible.  so now, the DayNight.  the beauty full salt cedar twig won't return.  it changes the softness of the cloth too much.  holds it in a way that i don't want to.  so…that remains a question,  the stick of the flag.  and i watched Wind blow through the window, blow the Wind of the flag and i will leave that unstitched i think….so this can continue.  the cloth will live there on the Wall  and always be touched by Wind.

Circumstance has snagged me by the ankle and i am putting off again the seperation of the kids and the Does.  now till Wednesday.  part of that is ok because i dread doing it.  but part is not ok because it needs to happen.  and i took a nap because i was tired of thinking about it and when i woke,  the Question was:  What would you Rather be Doing??????  and the answer was CLEAR.

Nothing.  there is Nothing i'd rather be doing.  Nothing i feel would be more of value to be doing.

so.  o  k.

    Lovely post yesterday, Grace, and I so love this cloth, it seems completely Grace. It is a long time since I woke to such calm and harmony as you described and, as you know, my struggle feels so alone. Another sister gone and I want to draw a line, to say enough, go back to stitch,which I have sen to be my spirit’s home. I want to feel that precious sense of belonging with Jude and you and all the others in that wonderful group. I have missed it desperately so hey ho, here we go again. Love and hugs.

    I love that you are standing on stones, and that your stance gives me such an impression of CONFIDENCE….a ‘happy in my skin’ impression.
