    hi grace…i don’t know about those scraps either. do you like
    them just because of the color? or the contrast to the loom and to
    the Kantha? or what? do they have any Meaning? either stated
    or just felt?

    the rhythm is the same. every time. it’s interesting,
    i notice the rhythm and think…i could do this
    faster
    but then after a faster stitch or two i find self
    right back
    in a purposeful slow rhythm
    it’s interesting

    it is.
    it is about 20 years old and still fragrant.
    when i went back to Michigan when the grandson was born,
    i ended up living in a communal house of i guess 6 people.
    one of them was Lee. he was the most beautiful young
    man. maybe 10 years younger than me. or more. he had
    golden hair that went down to his butt. and he would
    wander, naked, in the very large yard behind the house.
    Liz, the young woman i knew and i would lust over him.
    Lee liked men. We spent endless hours in the most loving
    and really Funny conversations with him about how he was
    wasting himself. How he just didn’t understand what a
    gift he was, to ANY woman. how he was cheating us. how
    we would so much like to make him understand this….
    but no and i remember him with such a soft and loving
    feeling. He tended little wild gardens of Sweet Grass
    along the Huron River and braided them. like this one.
    like his hair when he was not wandering all wild and
    naked. he sold them at that store i part owned. maybe
    he still does? who knows. but it is a beautiful “movie”
    when i remember Lee. when i smell the scent of this braid.

    i love these memories. i especially love them when im standing near someone who thinks im an old lady. i can look back at things in my mind that fill me with pleasure, lust or just joy. no one knows but me.
