Patricia,  over at followingthread.wordpress.com  in her 3/18  Post talks about Inertia.  And i was very taken by it,  by the words she looked up.   I would have been surprised by the definition, too….

"the innate force of matter….by which every    body    endeavors to preserve it's present state…."

it's about physics.  but it's also about Everything.  and i guess, yes,  Everything is about physics.  This Cloth is about Physics as much as it is about Spirit…Both are involved in how Things Are.

and bowls.  How much

i do love

bowls.

and this work,  about transmigration,  it gets serious.  And today i don't want it to be.  I want to imagine if i could come back as some kind of Wisp Thing,  just going,  from this to that,  Looking at all of it,  Loving all of it?  Could i come back as a Wisp of Love?, ,,,  , , flitting around some herd of Goats,  flicking their ears and tails,  could i be a spin of light around a rim of bowls?  Could i….

Could i…..

 

AND IT"S NOT OVER YET….NOW….

that Day is longer

    Readinng & looking at your good words and photos full of light, we had a close look at all the hills and valleys in the cloth traversing the golds into the blue and then we went outside for a fly around those goats & tickled their ears and bounced off their funny little tails then came inside and whirred around your singing bowls! I think Stuff Works when we pay Attention wholeheartedly

    Of course I immediately turn to the dictionary at the mention of physics–“concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.”
    then down down through two exquisite nesting bowls to the minutiae of cloth and thread, on to the scarlet sky, dear, dear goats, and Tay to the rag waving stick which reminds me of the poem I wrote for you:
    The Grace of Compassion
    by Ms.
    Cloth prayers waving in a wild March wind.
    Divine are these rags the artist has pinned.
    She is loving just-going winds blowing, their surprises of timing,
    while up through grasses, and on to her dress a lizard is climbing.
    Then the old cowboy on his last long ride calls. He needs her.
    The Dogs need her, the cat too, and every goat needs her.
    Om-Ma-Ni-Pa-Me-Hum” she sings. Onward it leads her.
    (Then your last line! Ha!)

    somehow, maybe when we leave there is a just a new and temporary place, a space… causing a shift in wind. a breeze to pick up a stray thread left behind. A wisp of love. or loved. That I might believe.
    Clocks are such a small part of time.
