a stainless steel triple wall woodstove pipe insert.    Finis.  Finito.  Done.    By Paul Saavedra.  if anyone is in Socorro County and needs things done, from plumbing,  installation of a triple wall
stove pipe to fine woodworking.  he is The Man.    and i assisted.  handing stuff,  holding stuff in place,  saying when stuff was straight.  playing various selections of Pink Floyd ,  LOUD.  
and …..in between,  the aching for the Cloth…and i thought…why not?,  so i just did some stitches

just a little.  but Finally.  and  i think it's good.   Tomorrow.   Tomorrow.   maybe, Tomorrow.

    Now safely warm..a fine workman, so lovely to have that.
    The stitches, more very great energy there…and the basket…desiring all of those colors to come to me in cloth from the collected bits..it is more than beautiful.
    Only about 40 days and the darkness will diminish a bit each day..each year I await that turning day and celebrate with a glad spirit as more light comes.

    Boy, kinda wish I lived in Socorro County for the privilege of having a good workman available. Anyone you recommend is bound to be the cream of the crop. I did love looking at the blue reflection pf sky through the hole though…and I hope that incredibly lovely basket, with all that natural color and pattern, is yours. It ought to be. As for the Solstice…our tradition (Celtic New England Paganism) proscribes a gathering, with each guest bringing a candle, when all arrive and the light blazed, we drink a toast, and become delightfully silly. Once descended, the only way forward is through.

    Getting up tomorrow morning to the warm cozy room, take your cloth and go and sit in front of the wood stove, cup of coffee by your side, cloth on your lap, sip, stitch, flow of warmth from the wood to the air to your fingers, flow of thread…cozy, special way for the day to begin.

    oh, YES!…..40 days give or take. i LOVE Winter Solstice.
    if i can make it that Far, then…..it’s only a matter
    of time, increment by increment, bright by bright. This
    year it seems particularly significant. i am even cleaning
    house for It….washing walls, curtains. evaluating every
    single THING that is sitting around. some things are
    going. some things loved even more. i am excited to get
    to this South Wall of the living room. what will happen
    here?…it’s the computer desk wall.
