the other side of posting every day, especially during trying times

preoccupied since last eve with trying to get through.  and i am thinking now.  this is the downside.

if i don't post, especially when Something is going on,  it seems ominous.  I  don't like that.  there's enough to worry about in this world.  so i am thinking.   and it's possible that Typepad will crash again.  So i guess just to keep that in mind when there is a silence until i think it out.  but for now…

this was Yesterday's pic.  the drawing of Her and the Lizard.  Was just to try to imagine Size.  have been working this morning and it's different.  If nothing else happens with Typepad, will post again this eve.

    love the scale, reminds me of a favourite book from last century called “Tiger Flower” illustrated by Fleur Cowles and written by Robert Vavra with a beautiful forward by Yehudi Menuhin
    “Tiger Flower” who lives “where everything that should be small, is big and everything that should be big, is small”

    i had forgotten that book. i had it with my own kids. was my
    son’s favorite. truly a beautiful beautiful book. and where
    did it GO? i don’t know. but i looked in Amazon because of my
    greatgrandson…and eeee, as it goes, the original hard bound
    (which ours was) is hundreds of dollars. amazing. Fleur Cowles
    was the finest of the fine illustrators. Gone now.

    i am noticing lately how things Rise up….not just in me
    but from All Around that
    weave in, creating MORE than one might imagine…but then
    you See it and it takes your breath away, because you know it … already….inside yourSelf….
    How much is IN Us. waiting to be recognized.
    yes. i will dream of Peepers. because of you.

    I adore the black stem and oh the lizard…the scale looks just right to my good eye. Sad I’ve missed that book and wouldn’t it be lovely to stumble on a hard back that’s slipped through to a thrift somewhere without it’s material value being noticed…or, for that matter it’s spiritual one.

    dear grace, i’ve just caught up (mid-typepad troubles), and un-like myself read the posts backwards, ending here- how strange to watch your cloth travel back…but i do love the drawing & how you’ve captured it in stitch. and worry, Moon told me yesterday that he is worried about how much he is worrying….sigh….how to help? I don’t think he’ll believe me, until he knows for himself, i sure didn’t. Maybe I will go back and reread in the opposite direction & find some thoughts for him…xxo
