It began with the strip of green. Then the rest.  The Earth she walks.     the Skirt.   Shake it.  Put it on.

walk to the pile of scraps on the bed…."They said….DO NOT THINK. "  reached hand to the pile,  picked up the first thing i touched.  3 times.   the Skirt.   back to pile….she needs a shirt,  and same.  First thing i touched.   Do not think.   And on.  She needs a face.    She needs hair.

What to say.   Cloth assembled its Self.  

i wanted to begin stitching but had made the Agreement that i would continue with the Gardens every day.  And so…two more buckets,  heavy ones,   down to A.  Watered  everything  down.   First water since Winter.   Zero rain in the forcast.   Planted the stump of the Collard Tree that had been hidden behind the Stevia that i cropped yesterday….planted the curved stalk horizontally.   Too long so i cut a stump and planted that.   On to B Garden and gave water.  There is self seeded Arugula here and there.  Ate as i watered.   the Pomegranate planted a few months ago is getting small buds on it's stalks.   The tips of the Fig are green.  I didn't linger there,  was time to feed self  before the evening feed.   A very Great Day.  A REALLY very great day.

    She comes into being against that glorious warm backdrop and she can wait for you to stitch. She can wait because she knows that nourishment of the body and soul includes more than needle and thread, includes taking care of the land, using that good rich dark earth that has been fed and tended and turned over to grow food, to grow beauty. She may, while you are tending the soil, do a little swish of her skirts in happiness that we do many things to nourish ourselves and each other. She knows this because she has her swishy skirt and she will swirl and twirl and shake it in larger movements when it is time. For now, how joyous for all of us that she is here, waiting…

    for me…yes….so joyous…and for CLOTH,so joyous, and so
    for US….
    it’s very different and interestingly, goes BACK to the beginning,
    to beginning with Spirit Cloth, Jude…..
    Shapes. and rising from the work with Acey.
    i did
    very much want to put the needle in. But not and i’m glad i was
    able to keep my word. The time in the Gardens was equally RIGHT and GOOD. This is a different year with them. Maybe it will be a different year with Cloth?

    it’s all very wonder-full grace.
    but simply cannot fathom ‘working’ in my ice covered garden. Still finalizing my seed and plant list, just.
