yesterday, when looking on the shelves for those curtains,  i pulled this off.  I didn't really remember i even HAD it. … one of the things i just buy at the thrift shop for 10 cents because it's Cotton.   So i had held it up to that window to see if it would go all the way across.  No, but

this is what i SAW!

One side plain with a stain or two,  the Other, well….i think of Jude's definition of Magic,  Appearing and Disappearing and here it IS.  Just the difference of how the Light touches it

this is good.  To keep the human being congruent with the dog being,  the round turned edges of FACE wouldn't feel right.

i've never done this before…and i love it very much.   Just the Essence.   just this much.  i am glad i was able to TRY it because it's Right.  In keeping with reading all that i read and particularly the Plant Intelligence,  it most clearly represents the sense of it all that i am coming to be comfortable with.   Different ways to depict Forms.  Energetic Forms.

this is good and right for what this Cloth wants to talk about.  Yes.

    Magic cloth, at first I thought the pattern had Native American markings but then I realized that there were numbers and letters and it is a code or formula but then there is the vase object and then my eye veered right to the ristra hanging over head and stayed focused on it…
    BUT what I want to talk about is the 2nd to the last photo, the photo of the exquisitely marked back cloth with moon and other bits of cloth; the one before your tea dyed cloth, it is calling me, taking me to the piece of cloth that looks horizontal,a step leading me up to what I call the woven hand rails so that I can pull myself up and touch the opening/orb/moon, expanding all of my senses, me who is usually staying firm footed, looking down in order not to miss any windfall…
    and I have no idea why I am writing this but I had to.

    A figure in the center of the woven cloth. Upside-down in your photo. Face like Jude’s mask. And at its feet and head the mirror of the cloth under the moon cloth. Round and round everything feels connected here by strands as thin as hair.

    I too love this next-to-last image … a cloth that caught my eye the first time around and now is even more haunting with the small bit of cloth/light added to the bottom.
