    Such softness in the placement of the cloth pieces, side by side and the colors have that same softness…
    I think there comes a moment when we realize that all we have left our moments and so…speaking only for myself here, I have noticed a slowing down of my cloth work and I tell myself that I am waiting for the greening and growing of the land so I can forage for dye materials…BUT see, I have a basket of many dyed cloth patches/scraps and they sit, quietly and I sit quietly, looking at them, pulling them out, arranging them on the bed, culling a few that have faded and waiting…waiting for story to come but so far, the cloths are quiet.
    Yesterday it was 70 here so I took the basket outside and placed it on the patio table where when the days are warmer, I do like to sit out and work with my cloths. Honestly, I felt like I could hear a sigh, whether it came from me or my basket of cloth, I don’t know and it doesn’t matter only that it was so real.
    So I wait because I know that in time, a beckoning will come and it is fine with me, the slowing, the waiting for the making…

    4 years of Trump .. 2 + of Covid .. and now the war in Ukraine !!! Not to mention the family and household traumas we all have experienced of late. For me personally I know my creative self has lots a lot of its mojo. Your yellows match the sunny warm day we’re having here .. saw my first Robins yesterday which always makes me very happy.

    I invite you to step into another world,
    An older and slower one,
    Where what counts is precisely that…going slowly,
    Calming down, leaving judgements behind,
    And creating things in a day…for yourself.

    Marti- I am younger. I am working, with many responsibilities. I still feel that slowing down. Sometimes I wonder why that is. xo
