this is a piece of Deb Lacativa's damask. It came in some that i'd bought quite a long time ago. I have passed it by, many times. Too pink. Too pastel. too……
Right now, i LOVE it. I could stand and look at it all day long. Then get up and do it again. and well, i have. Done just that.
and the rust marked one. Together. How they
compliment
each other. or, as my daughter used to say when she was little…"theirchothers".
how there is just no need to ADD anything….that they stand, perfect, as is. Each. And also together.
and if i stitched the Goat/Crow/Toad cloth ….to… the "soft morning sky" cloth…how it would take something From the softmorningsky cloth…some would be Covered and i don't want it covered.
and i thought about how this has come up a few times lately. How i wish that the cloths i make would be for holding. Like maybe just laid up against the back of a chair or something and just there, and taken in the hands now and then. more that, than on a wall…because then they could be their Both Sides. their complete selves.
this is the way Wendy's children are with Cloths. They take them up or down and hold them….they WORK with the cloths this way. The cloths work with them this way. it's an exchange, a conversation, a giving and a receiving, often without words, but Exchange. a flow, back and forth of some kind of language that is so full of beauty and is so life giving…each to each.

A correction. It wasn't Linda who talked of the Unforseen, it was Beth. on 7-5-2017 post.
this is one of many photographs that a local photographer took. I study it. more than the more dramatic ones of the inferno. This is how the Dragon eats. Underbrush. Many of the trees on the Hill have seen fire before. Someone said 15 years ago. Might be true. But for sure, many of the older trees. To understand Fire. If we are fortunate enough to slide under this, this time. There is so much to learn. Fire is a force of nature in mountains and foothills of those mountains. to Learn.
it's all about Learning. isn't that something? all about Learning. Almost like not leaving food around for bears. Not leaving food around for the Dragon. We talked about this. About NOT being into "Clearing" the Hill. We can't. it would be against what the Hill means to us. but we can become very quiet and thoughtfull about clearing the downed wood, the underbrush. The underbrush, this is work for the Goats
