more fully realizing,  and maybe not really Realizing yet,  the difference of the Making here.  Now that Out Side has opened from the rain,  from the continuing of familiar ways that a season of rain allows,  or,  encourages….Now that Out is most where Life takes place,  in putting pieces together here today,  i realized that it is Very different,  the arrangement of How It Is on a ground cloth.  No longer the defined figure upon lean and spare horizons.  Looking here,  there is forest.   In certain places here,  a kind of horizon can be seen,  but it too is forested.  Forest and Sky.  I need to open to a different way of making.  I don't know how to do that.

    It will come, the knowing how to make cloth in this place of forest and sky; it takes time but you are receptive to your Hill, you are coming to know it in all seasons. This is not to say that cloth is always about landscape for you have created cloths about the sense of things, your Buddhist view of life, the daily joys of being and becoming involved with what is before you and I expect that all of this will continue for cloth is a way of sharing and telling the story of our lives…Most importantly, the title of this post says it all- “more fully realizing”…

    yes, you are understanding.
    i thought that too, as i stood and looked, as i went through all the cloth i have brought back in the storage
    bin things…i thought…there are many Ways to say things, the cloths will have ways
    but still, there is this thing of becoming grounded here. I might need to keep with this until it does what it wants to do. Or, i might need to let my Imagination open. Whatever it is, it’s feeling like some kind of crossroad.
    That i don’t KNOW anything about, that i will need to just wait and let things occur on their own.
    I loved working with the aging pot of Storks Bill today…thinking of you

    Here in Maine I would be making rain cloth. But the Earth here is thirsty.

    how cloth and stitch can teach the way of the land … making it known to us …
    how they can also hold memory …
