265 and i said, Every Day for a year. One Hundred more days.

IMG_7399f

 

 

so.  One Hundred more.  of Every Day.  i had thought of going back to the beginning today and seeing whats happened so far, but then i thought…no….just wait.  so, ok.  but one hundred more days.  it's a significant point.   100 days will take us through the DarkTime,  through the Winter months and bring us to the brink of Spring.   what will i think of all of this then?  Don't know.

but, the 100 more days will complete what we refer to as a   YEAR.  we are used to thinking in terms of ….. a year.    a year.  

a year.

a year.

that word, that concept seems very strange to me in this moment.

    Jan…thank you for saying that….that you love the way
    i think.
    i often, most often, feel so ummmmm, singular. and that’s
    because, really, i am. it’s just me and my
    Imagination
    and it’s hard to see much of what it is from the Inside
    out…so
    thank you. it gives me something to go on….that i’m
    headed in a Good Direction. and that’s all anyone needs
    to know

    i keep thinking that after christmas (i retire on that day) and then when i am traveling i will blog a lot. i want it to be easy and i don’t find it that way now. you seem to just do it quickly. well, i’m not sure how long it takes you.
    i may just do it.. traveling and stitching.. a little weaving thrown in. we will see.
    i have read yours every day for the this time.

    when I went to post my comment, the post changed before my eyes into this new addition. That was weird and wonderful.
    so here is what I prepared to say
    I think when I first saw this cloth was at the beginning of dealing with white. Ha….I loved it then, saw all sorts of images in it. Now, dyed, and with doodle thoughts of stitch, It’s even more intriguing.
    Now…to the thought of one hundred days which bring us all to Spring, and that the word ‘year’ is ‘strange’—
    Maybe all words are strange….but this one only because it sums up all those sun to moon, sun to moon repetitions, and our experience of time, into a neat four letter package. Maybe things can’t be condensed like that. Or, what if–condensation is an artist’s trick, a way to transform the ordinary detail into a golden vessel?
    I’m blatherong.

    one hundred more days. oh. that’s all? i’m afraid i’ve come to savor your posts so much that this announcement–of ONLY 100 more days sounds a bit–well, maybe sad is the word.

    I’m afraid that was my reaction too. Only a hundred more? Orbiting the moon of the mothership. You’ve drawn us in Grace. Will you scatter us to the winds at year’s end?

    tonight i believe it…it has all the feel of December.
    and i need to begin doing all the things of December, like
    unscrew the back and front hoses a little to relieve the
    pressure of the back pull siphon effect of the no freeze
    thingys. and fill the water tubs and and and
    and i can’t forget. any of those things. there are
    consequences to forgetting in Decembery days.
    eek, yes. eeeeek.
