i have had this book of paper for so long.  SO long.   It's from Nepal.  Made from the bark of the Daphne bush.   The colors are exquisite.  Tearing small pieces.  to stitch with a single thread.

Tazmeena is having Feelings

And this morning,  i thought,  This is What I Hope For:    (about the weekend)

Seeing Many different kinds of creative endeavor

Energetic exchange with people i never have met about anything they want to talk about

A connection with SomeOne interested in Slow Cloth/Raw Cloth

Conversations about Goats

    Tomorrow you will go and take yourself and your cloths to those in Magdalena and what will they see:
    Paper the color of a soft blush like the beginnings of a quiet sunrise, paper from Nepal that introduces, that holds words to tell why and what.
    Cloth given second chances, from function to the form of expression, stitched with threads of love and connection. Cloth that speaks of a place, of a woman who sees, notices, understands the wonders of what is taken for granted; open to answer, open to give, open to receive, open to call attention, open to how it is.
    What will they see, simply, stories of life unfolding…
