invisible basting  (Jude Hill)  this,  with harem cloth, with a piece of muslin,  pressing it with the palm of my hand as i go

FEELING these images on/in the cloth with the palm of my hand…a topological kind of sensation although the cloth is really relatively flat…and the invisible baste to keep the flatness….

I have no idea what is next.

    I KEEP SEEING FACES AND DANCING CREATURES. I think it’s common to humans (most) to see faces, search for faces and familiar forms.

    ..o i love that is what you saw…outside my window right now..these are the colors of the bare trees..the grasses that poke through here and there..the dark be branches..and these were the images that flooded my mind….i can go back ..with a fresher mind and see your creatures.. and cannot wait to see what grace finds and where she leads us..where this cloth leads her
    the past few posts have hit me so deeply..i felt as if i started writing i might never stop..choices..home mourning..i have done these..but i am slow now ..trying to learn to be present ..to just be..as someone i love so deeply is slowly disappearing..withdrawing into himself in front of me..to be decisive and plan ..and yet to let go of that..on some daily level..and just let myself enjoy every minute of now..it is a different place
    and then grace writes..i have no idea what is next..and i am slightly undone..some small dam breaks..the small ships from hand stories..the marking of days from liz..the city that surrounds michelle.. ..and her serenity within it..and jude..the basket center ,,the paths uncountable radiate from you..somewhere it makes a wonderful kind of sense…somehow this all makes it possible..i spent dawn tearing strips ..cloth,, which i have not touched in so long.since the day in that office..which is not me..i have used those days before to always have some cloth in my pocket…ready to work on while words that i need to make sense of pour around me..but not here..not now…but now this morning thinking..and breathing..which may not sound huge ..but you know how events that hurt make that very breath so shallow..
    so maybe just a release for awhile..but whatever know that how the gifts of your hearts and fingers..are held here as talisman..and how much delight..simple pure delight i take in your words and your creations
    gentle day

    Grace this is what I am talking about….the time and energy that you put into this daily sharing brings out not only people’s artistic talents…but inner emotions that some of us are better at sharing than others. Thoughts of love and gratitude go out to Jude Hill for being your inspiration……our inspiration!!

    i wish you would write and never stop…i so Wish That…how it would feed me here in this life that is now in it’s certain way free, but still so close in the remembering.
    How you tell me of the Belonging. Our Belonging. All of us, as we go. How we weave the threads. RIPPING CLOTH the beauty of this the sound of it and the sensation of it, the ripping…………
    I so DO know, how breath is shallow..high, so near the throat, and not in the right place for breath, but it’s all there can be sometimes, that oh so high shallow breathing that keeps us going until something clicks in and lets us EXHALE and then breathe deep, from further down until we can breathe from the depths of us
    I love you, Cynthia and i stand here, so far from you really, but more really, not far at all and i stand next to you
