so looking more.   There is the question of the prompt.   of Style and Substance.   I needed to think about the meaning of both words…in context of collage.   And specifically,  in the context of just these pages of collage.  They are all i have and all i can look to that would represent Style.   Just these.   So….not a lot for definitive interpretation,  Right?   I think i don't HAVE a style yet.  and then substance….does substance mean Story?,   what Story do they convey?  Do the images speak to some central  thought?  theme?  individually and then together?  And all this while wondering too if i might just not understand the terms?   

What came more into focus is that without ….intention….with just following the prompt and going through the Possibilities i repeated a core ummmmm,   a core…..well,  statement.   That is that the Ground upon which all my imaging rests IS a constant sense/awareness/response to  the thing of Spirit.   Or we can call it the belief in a Great Consciousness of this Earth and that in which it floats.   Another way…the Consciousness of Life .   And this then brought me to the first part of the prompt,  explore the visual dynamic between your creations and your sense of attachment to them.   This,  being just so clear.   How much i loved to find Spirit,  The Great Conscious,   in each.   It's just There.   No matter which images i chose.  It repeats so steadily.   And this has great meaning for me….attachment…not just to the pages but to the underlying pervasive  display of who i am to me  and how devoted i am whether i want to be or not,  to that relationship with the Great Consciousness.  I don't need to keep trying to find out more or justify either.   It's just what it is.   This also pulls in the making of the Evolution Cloth which was begun as a resolution work for coming to terms with my own realistic sense of the state of affairs of the planet.   And then,  the state of affairs of homosapiens.    The collage work and the cloth work are totally related.   And accomplish this Of Their Own Accord.   Without my even asking.   So….attachment?   Yes.  a Great sense of attachment and also gratitude.

a RAIN day,  all day and as relief from the round and round stitching of Evolution,  i began the first Bee.   There needs to be MANY bees.   Because Many Bees will be needed.
