just a little stitching,  just some invisible baste.  just enough to see if it can work.   Which is hard, because i really can't articulate what the IT is.  but it's about feelings.  Earth feelings.   

this much for now and i've begun the kantha around the border.   once that's done i can go back InSide and Re View.

i had to come back and add this.  It needs to go all ways.  Sun at the Rise,  or Moon.  Vertical or Horizontal…just like this Earth does it, magically, somehow.  i forgot to put this pic because the across the road people are having a PARTY.  the Goats have never experienced a PARTY before.

lots of music, lots of Voices….and just as i was posting the first,  voices outside their fence that i couldn't tell if they were speaking,  LOUDLY,  to    the Goats  or   at   the Goats.  Goats just spoke back….Snowbunny in the lead,  her back covered by Ginger…which surprised me.  Ginger is normally very quiet.  but she was Ready.  Lots of drugs.  Lots of alcohol.  a very uneasy vibration.

i hope they want to go home soon.  a cold Wind is rising.  maybe that will help.   it's been so long here…i'd forgotten how that kind of thing feels.

    Hello Grace, your cloth looks so JOYFUL, a mindful celebrataion. My kind of celebration. We love our peaceful existance, surrounded by bush and wildlife, BUT there is a holiday rental house next to ours. The people that come to stay seem to go out of their way to make as much noise as they possibly can. (WHY???) Luckily for us its usually only weekends, so we have peace during the week. ahhh Marg oxo

    it really was a good thing, in an odd way. Ordinarily, it’s just
    neighbor Margie, Margarita, who now lives alone after a tumaultous
    life. her son comes on weekends but is gone a lot of the time.
    But i was able to remember when there were people across the road
    the Other way (who subsequently burned their house down) and then
    people on the north side (that’s just empty now). it has all gone
    back to how it was when i first came here. except for Across the
    Road Margie. but i was re-minded. and it’s a good thing. My life
    couldn’t work here if things around me changed. so…i know to be
    grateful for how it is now and also to be unattached, if i can,
    if it changes again. if you don’t have a buffer of acres, …..
    well…..
    and it was interesting to experience the Goats in this kind of
    day. how they are sensitive to voices/kinds of voices. and it is something too, to watch (with just listening, i really can’t see) how people “have fun”. so mindless. so well…empty. so reliant on substance to numb stuff.
    anyway….i am glad your world has 5 days of Peace. that’s enough to carry us through, yes?????
    LOVE to you

    great description 2said–the energy and movement–the sense of potential. and Grace–neighbors every where doing odd things. the buffer behind my house–just a few trees that i pretended was a forest. gone now.

    it dances..it scuttles..it has such a life force..such a powerful dance between your cloth and your fingers
    so sorry for the uneasy vibrations..i hope the cold Wind rising served a good purpose
    .and to you patricia..we returned from vermont to find our corner of our yard …where we have always sat around the fire at the end of the day, where the kid’s swing still hangs in a huge sweet gum tree..open to our “new” neighbor..who had stripped away every bush, chopped every tree..it is chilling..i know we are leaving soon..but it is painful..and everytime i pull up in the driveway ..a small shock to see not the pattern of trees and shrubs forming a wonderful wall of leaves and changing light..but a house and so much red mulch..covering the spaces where hydrangeas used to bloom, unearthly blue..
    so anyway ..happy candlemas, joyful Imbolc..a feast of light to you as we start the slow lovely slide into spring

    (((Grace))) Old Man Crow & I can never ever complain about noise! There are very loud parties every now and then in the neighbourhood as there are still a few big old student share houses that haven’t been renovated yet (the university is a short walk away ) but we did our fair share of partying a few houses back when we were the place to go after gigs to sing and play music and imbibe til dawn… karma…

    i guess. but the energy has a very sharp and acid edge.
    drugs were different then…at least in my world…
    i loved Margie’s son…he’d gotten a horseshoe set. trying
    to go back to the “old ways”….he is a good young man.

    My yard changes as Cynthia’s does. Neighbor on one side just took out ALL of the trees along the back of her property line, so we can now see the house behind hers clear as day…can even see Inside. I don’t want to see inside someone’s house.
    I know what you mean, the sound of the parties being different. I’m easily unsettled by such sounds. The parties over here just sound like a lot of folks having fun, so I don’t mind them. Plus, they only happen a few times a year, on a weekend night. I can live with that. My front neighbor and his ways are a whole other story though!
    The colors and wiggles on this cloth are electric!

    Not sure if you mean the kind of parties or the removable of plant life…but I guess it’s a WHY to both and a HOW to both as well.

    removing trees. trees/bushes are no more, no less than you
    or me.
    the parties, just how people try to make themselves feel good

    The movement of this piece no matter the orientation speaks of seeing things from many points of view..all can be good, although presenting a different face. Your looking at each change around you always invites me in to read and think about your words, and this piece does that clearly for me today.
