you’ve created such a magical, safe haven, it seems. perfectly aligned with ally and sunflower mother. are the threads in the sky WIND?

it is something to think about..how the wind is swirling over the distances between us..the immense spaces it covers..
and the care you took with her breeze lifted hair..and the way my breath calms being here..LikeLike

A sturdy stalk for the wind. This makes me feel better for some reason.

I love the size here and their hands and arms touching so sweetly. It reminds me a little bit of thumbelina and that feeling I would get looking at illustrations of that story – the animals being so big that it might be scary but mostly they were kind. You do amazing sculptural things with your cloth.

Dear Grace–a poem
I Happened To Be Standing
by Mary Oliver
I don’t know where prayers go,
or what they do.
Do cats pray, while they sleep
half-asleep in the sun?
Does the opossum pray as it
crosses the street?
The sunflowers? The old black oak
growing older every year?
I know I can walk through the world,
along the shore or under the trees,
with my mind filled with things
of little importance, in full
self-attendance. A condition I can’t really
call being alive.
Is a prayer a gift, or a petition,
or does it matter?
The sunflowers blaze, maybe that’s their way.
Maybe the cats are sound asleep. Maybe not.
While I was thinking this I happened to be standing
just outside my door, with my notebook open,
which is the way I begin every morning.
Then a wren in the privet began to sing.
He was positively drenched in enthusiasm,
I don’t know why. And yet, why not.
I wouldn’t persuade you from whatever you believe
or whatever you don’t. That’s your business.
But I thought, of the wren’s singing, what could this be
if it isn’t a prayer?
So I just listened, my pen in the air.

no. not wind. and i have thought as i stitch about
how i could say what it is, and nothing yet is It.
but it’s the “atmospheric” thing, that we call sky, that
is really more, both scientifically and spiritually
what is in response when these vibrations take form that
i stitched today…LikeLike

Planet endlessly
