i don't know what to PUT here.   There are the pics from the other day….i had one of the green ladder that i'd dragged over to the young cottonwood tree so i could climb up it and take a close pic of it's tassle.   And then i had one of the NEST that a sparrow has decided on in the funky awning of the West window…whod've  guessed,  but there it is all fine and with the last shred of the prayer flags and their string woven in and then the one of when i realized that AGAIN i have depicted a 3 legged dog in the House of Wind cloth and Michelle,  my quality assurance person didn't catch it this time,  but i did and it caused all manner of Change and i took pics of those changes and what i ended up with and

I CAN'T SHOW YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I CAN'T SHOW YOU

and really,  if it's just WORDS here,  i honestly wouldn't go on.  

for Whatever reason,  i need to SHOW you stuff.  By showing YOU stuff,  i guess i can Place myself?  I don't know,  I don't know,  I don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    x fingers eyes and toes that the cyber gremlins stopping the photos from being seen will let up so we can see the beautiful tassel, the 3 legged dog being transformed to 4 legged and the sparrow nest… I was thinking about sparrows this morning, they have disappeared in this busy 21st C inner city world, I miss them!

    Hmmmmm. A frustration! I suggest for the time being you sketch. It MUST right itself. I assume you wrote/asked Typepad to restore your ability to download photos. OR, is it a different platform? I mean is it where you store your photos that’s the problem? Not to worry though. It will eventually work out. Maybe there are limits on the free or near free account???? So, what if this is the future fact? What if this is forever? You are a word weaver too. Don’t stop talking to us.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you are not lost:
    I first came to know you through your words, not photos, those came much later so while the photos amplify, show things directly, you don’t need photos to bring a sense of reality – the way you use words, sometimes deliberately, sometimes stream of consciousness, all serve to give us the realness of you, your place, this planet. Your words are what connect, giving us the US-ness that we feel…
    Still it is the showing of your story cloth where the photos are so vitally important not just because for someone like myself, who doesn’t grasp a lot of different ways of stitching. Seeing what you do when you invisible baste, Kanta, forms the whole of the cloth for me. AND for the simple and practical fact that you use your photos to sell your cloths.
    One thing to consider with this “pause” is how much windthread means to you; in terms of record keeping, in terms of a chronology and chronicle of your life, in terms of a diary. If the reverse were true, that this blog was just a photo blog, something would be lost because your words anchor you to your days and as I’ve said before and you don’t really like this phrase but it is an apt one from where I sit, your words are a lifeline, at times, to so many.

    word weaver indeed in deed..to lose control of something so vital is so hard.
    .. .to lose sight of your cloth..of your world is hmmm it makes a small rip in my morning visit..a small emptiness…and so i can so easily imagine the frustration you feel..you who give so much..
    your words show that quite clearly…you want this to be WHOLE
    and so i know i will be here hoping for your pictures but waiting for your words as this gets untangled..you capture so much with your words never doubt that..it is all of a piece i know…
    but i am content with fragments..if that is how you see just the words..waiting for the return of the what completes you…hope today brings answers and integration and happiness..and if not yet…still here…
    gentle day grace
