Easy. Some "times", it's easy. Continuous, but slow. I think about Salzberg's choice of words:
May you live with ease. Today i lived with ease.
i stitched the Crow.
at one point, it was probably exactly right. But i took it just a barest fraction further and went too far. So…now…..we'll see. I might need to begin again. Need to back off. See again.
and i moved to this one. Which i am surprised to find that i really WANT to take to the Art thing in Magdalena. and as i worked on it it became clear to me what i really am looking for with participating there. This is probably the most…uhhh, raw, or rough cloth i've made. The combination of fragments are uneasy. Them with the inked eyes, too. But it's a Strong Story. Every bit of it has meaning that Tells it's story. So i will work to finish it and take it. What i understood is that i want to use this Event in Magdalena to watch people's responses to these Cloths. To talk with them, get a feeling who they are and then see if i can get them to tell me what they are seeing. This will INFORM the making as it goes. I am not looking at all for general "acceptance". Am looking for Response. So i will take even this one that is "hard" and learn from it.
