i'll take this pic again tomorrow,  in the light of Day.   But i came in tonight and looked for and found this Cloth because it was so much of how it was.

Can you see…in the large central  open space…..the two figures?   I see them so Clearly, because i made them, but maybe  not so much  for anyone else?    There is a larger  figure and then,  a smaller one,  leaning into,  pressing up into…..the way that Emrie runs and presses up,  hugging our legs to her Self….pressing herSelf into us.   She Takes Us IN and simultaneously GIVES herSelf to Us.   The exchange is UnReal…and beyond Fine.

We worked.   AS WE CAN  down at the Wall Garden.    Jenny raked and cleared the periphery of that space,  Alyssis supervised Emrie filling the milk jugs  with water and vinegar,  the hose,   the milk jugs that will be the mini green houses for seed in a week or so.  We were ALL there.   Talkie,  Tay,   Puppy.   The Goats nearby.   Without DIRECT  SPECIFIC words,  we wove how it might be that we can Just Go,   taking in what we have to give,  what boundaries we might need on giving.   I can't find words for what we did.   

Emrie FLEW like a bee, in between Everything.   She is so different this 3rd year,   so capable and  so able to Help Us form who and what we are.     And when we think about Children,   Why Children?,   i watch her today,  FEEL her today.   Children pollinate us.  if we are to continue as a species,  we need them.   Just like the Plant People need bees.   

it was dark by the time we were done.  I almost didn't post anything.   But then…that was just too easy….not to post.  I needed to MARK the day.

    Figures register strongly here – saw them before reading near the end, that you asked us to look for them.
    Stitched through a great deal of this weekend. Put an entire quilt top together – it’s a tribute to my aunt Grace’s style of scrap quilting.
    had forgotten how well several hours of hand stitching and deep processing of info/emo input can combine into a unique psychic space…

    Children grow so beautifully .. and the difference a year makes at this age. I see it in my 3 year old grandson.

    “children pollinate us” … enliven us, make everything matter so much more than it otherwise would
    and the cloth … so much yours, and in sharing it here it becomes ours as well

    I love cloth in low light. I expect it to breath.

    Says she, “I needed to mark the day.”
    And so it is she so precisely
    did that.
