i sat staring at that first released photograph from Webb telescope….. mesmerized, leaning forward into it, leaning back, to distance from it. i woke this morning to repeat and looked for this ….threaded the needle with Deb's thread and finished the butterfly's antennae retreating into a small cloth about seeds and cocoon, genetic codes of flowers and leaf and stem. old torn cloth. scrap. cloth. collage.
there is just SO MUCH right now…so so much to take in, to Be With, and then, Be. Place self somehow IN it and turn slowly to see what surrounds. I watch MOON rise this dusk into dark, a plain moon tonight, after that telescope image….a plain round luminous glowing Reliable moon. a Reliable Moon. a Moon that can be trusted. it feels so personal, Our Moon. the planet earth…what we have named it*…the planet earth, in the midst of IT ALL….we look "out", but we are also IN…….all that we know being not much at all but
all that we know
*and i think…by this…."we", this culture, american european, our name When there are so many Other names of other peoples that i don't even know and who all call the ground they stand on Home Oy….all this, so Big.
