a good day. a good day of Looking at Stuff.
stitching down the River, i realized that i could incorporate the stray fray threads that i love so much with the invisible baste. i could baste Over them, hold them a little in place. Enough in place. this was wonder Full to understand.
and then, thinking about Cindy ….Handstories….and her uneven ness, i saw how much i loved this one thread, a stray, that went at an angle. how i Want it like that. . . how it doesn't seem like much at all, but IS really, a lot…it's Great….this single stray thread at a slight angle. and while seeing all this and stitching, i thought about how i will miss Jude if she Goes Off. but also i thought about how i have learned more than i ever could have imagined there was to learn from the years with Spirit Cloth. and how, in keeping with her most recent post in Diaries, it's repetition of something that is important to us, repeating it over and over with small differences, small changes, ….how we come to really know things.
and then, there's the Goldilocks Principle. (you can google Goldilocks Principle) this was running along side the cloth thoughts. i sold some cheese today. the first cheese i sold. i sold it to an old friend/employer Peggy who is a very deeply convicted vegetarian…also no eggs. not really a Vegan, but close…but she Does cheese. Peggy is a Foodie. she's 88 and a follower of Ishwar, you can google him too. Ishwar Puri, Sant Mat Teachings. she meditates 2 hours EVERY morning, first thing. has for many years. She is the most committed to a Spiritual Master of anyone i have known personally. and she had asked to please have some cheese when it happened. so today i took cheese and i took half of the dressing for roasted root vegetables i made. i had intended to just have her critique the cheese. but….she insisted on PAYING for it, for both. and Peggy, i can also say is one of the most frugel persons i know. she saves everything, including her money from selling at the Farmer's Market, for her 3 times a year pilgrimage to be with Ishwar. Frugel, like, totally. but she gave me $20. that's a LOT. it is a LOT more than i would have imagined felt fair. she said if i refused to take it she would have to waste her money on a stamp to send it in the mail.
so, here we are. The Goldilocks Principle. and i am thinking too about Dru's comment. about all of it. how it is somewhere NEAR too much. but i am not Overwhelmed yet. i AM whelmed. yes.
whelmed.
but looking. trying to understand what it all is.
