i had cut the Wall Cloth a few days ago. To accommodate Old Oak. But also to allow air flow. its warming up. Was 79 yesterday. it won't stay that way, will be low 60s again for a while, but we're moving along. And…..i like this. She can be Together.
i thought….Why Not? it turned out to be many things. i connected the pieces by taking two stitches at various points that would hold one to the next….just cutting the thread to let it dangle. Easy to take apart. And almost immediately it was a lesson about Ecstasy. You can't HOLD it. Not its nature, to be held in place. I kept referring to the photograph to make sure i was keeping each fragment where it originally was and it kept changing. Not a lot, sometimes almost imperceptibly. But even that, changed it. So i just kept trying. Over and over. twice i thought it was secure and twice i lifted it and pieces flopped down or off entirely. Once i gave up and let it change, it was better. Not Ecstasy, but enough. A couple times during the 3 hours of this, i went to Jude's latest post, rereading, thinking, reading all the comments. Thinking. And all of a sudden, it hit me and i laughed. I think i could say that i might be Jude Hill's most devoted student. Or at least a front runner, but i think most devoted would be me. Maybe Hazel. Anyway…..there she is. Taking such INCREDIBLE CARE to create a Forever with EveryThing……….ALL. ALL she has taught. For me…over 10 years of receiving. And here i am. This is the fruit of her labor as a Teacher….her most devoted student….obsessing over primitively tacking scraps. that will be taken apart. Oh Jeez, grace. My friend used to say….you're a piece of work.
