Thinking about thoughts

a Question for the Book of Wonder.   Who do Thoughts belong to?   

something was said that gave me pause,  about blogging.  about comment sections being group conversations about  her thoughts…the her,   being the blogger.   and i was surprised by how that surprised me.   applying it to this blog,  what was it that was Surprising?    i thought about it  a long time, am still thinking about it.    and i realized that i don't really claim any of the thoughts here as My thoughts.  Somehow, i think  of them as just this kind of Generic Stream of Consciousness…thinking about things that Anyone and Everyone thinks in the course of days of a life.  Nothing really amazing or in my case, interesting,  one day to the next.  just , well, thoughts.  I did have that one thought a while back that i was so happy about that i called my First original thought.  so…i had one.  but, One.   so Why put thoughts here?  

so i am thinking about this.  still.  and all i've come up with so far, is that it's a discipline of sorts for me.   that,  AND  i like having Company.  i do.  i like having company, come and go.  in and out.    again.  living alone and having few real conversations in my day to day life,  You who comment here are my world in a way.   is that pathetic?  Maybe.

so i stitched down the top of the loom.  it is now secure.  and i added a very significant thing that is hard to see here

 

IMG_8658f

that top strip.  it's resolved a LOT for me about that strip of COLOUR….that was completely Right, but also completely COLORFULL.  so now.  now it is good.  yes.

    If you are pathetic, that means WE are pathetic and we are the furthest thing from pathetic! I love love the new strips am smiling that you are happy with the punch of color. The little b/w band holds it perfectly.

    you have to ask the questions.
    How do you know what’s real. what’s baloney.
    then,,,if someone else thinks it’s baloney, then, you
    look again
    but then, i also sometimes like baloney. you could
    post a thing about baloney…the history of it…in your
    food blog. yes?
    i don’t know. i am just
    JUST
    feeling like, well, baloney tonight. and that’s really
    JUST ok.
    LOVE…..

    That reminds me of one of my favorite expressions, when somebody’s “‘got your back.” It makes me feel so protected. And now you got my back in New Mexico and me and my words, well, we’ve got yours.

    i love and think it rather wonderful, the conversational as well as the sometimes actual weaving that goes on here. i like the way we can come and go,listen, express a thought,or a feeling, or a wonder, or not.learn things about each other and in turn ourselves. not be obliged in any way like we might be in person.( and the word pathetic ,makes me think of eeyore.of whom i am fond.)and oh my goodness such Grand News over at Judes …what if . the weaving chapter ….is going to happen !!!

    Not pathetic, no…it’s a connection. I get excited when people comment on my blog posts, so maybe I’m pathetic too….it feels such a part of all, and it’s like that here too, a part of all, with lots of opinions and differences and sharing and love…no, definitely not pathetic.

    Didn’t see this until this morning: thoughts, stream of consciousness – what’s the difference? To me it’s all in how you frame this, pretty much semantics. Pathetic, oh please, if you thought that why would you continue, come on grace…
    Now re this cloth, as in some of your other ones: there is a sense of movement here, a sense of the wind rippling through, refreshing, unveiling, uplifting…Same with windthread, movement in the sense of you putting out a thread of thought, we responding, sometimes because you have caused us to understand something that was a bit obscure; sometimes because you want answers to a question or a problem that you are facing, sometimes because the sheer joy and beauty of your life with goats is so huge that we have to tell you what it means to us; sometimes we respond just for the need to tell you how you moved us with word, photo, cloth and sometimes because as the Irish say, it is all good craic i.e. good conversation.
    Life is made up of many moments, solo, communal, close, distant – it’s all about the openness of a life, it’s all about the sharing. No one makes us come here but because the gate is always left open for us, I know that when I come on through, I breathe a little deeper and I expand in ways that have everything to do with heart and soul. Lets me know more about myself, about you and the many wonderful people who join me in coming through the gate…
    And as an addendum: you all know that I also live in New Mexico and that grace and I get together now and then. The now and then is important because as much as we enjoy contact in the flesh, we also enjoy our solitary ways. I’m not a lover of phone talk so emails and windthread are my connecting points when I am not with grace.

    it’s the craic you have here as Marti said and re thoughts?
    well it’s in the writing & sharing that brings them out into the light where they can be tossed back and forth, observed from above, below and spun 360 degrees, love the new cloth!!!

    Nothing to add to all these comments really my thoughts echo most of those above and yes I like the company as well, words get misused, pathetic originates from the Latin word for sensitive and maybe we are all that for each other, sensitive to others needs.

    deb…pathetic. that was another of Alz. B’s words.
    Pathetic. When she would want to know what i had been doing, which meant, why i wasn’t at HER house, i would tell her about the Cloth. About Spirit Cloth. About the blog.
    she would listen with a certain look on her face and then
    say…
    That’s pathetic. Faceless People.
    i could never make her understand.

    thoughts, stream of consciousness….
    i have a difference.
    thoughts are kind of firm. based on understandings of stuff, past and present. formed.
    stream of consciousness is wondering,….not at all formed,…just appearing out of the blue and floating…wondering….trying to SEE what it is, trying to SEE how it might or might not FIT

    it doesn’t matter so much, the “adding”, but what does
    matter is that we validate things for one another this
    way. THAT matters a LOT.,
    yes.
