"deciding" is not where it's at.   I'd decided to let clothmaking   rest a while.  Took down that last  piece of Wall Cloth,  put it in the wash bag.   Today i had to find it.

and go through those Leave Containers in that back room.

because,   this Cloth is talking about what will    "work",  as in,   How Life might be Lived as things move forward into Change.  What might be needed as Change takes place ,  on~ going,  beyond my single life.   I am always thinking of Emrie…..

the word is

Imagination

this word and all it might mean is the Key.    the imagination to Respond to Change,  the Imagination to Adapt.    Everything has Become      from the Imagination of some One…from cooking with fire to the James Webb.   Someone Imagined.     It seems so simple….it is.   But to say it,  to say     Imagination     To think of ways to teach  mySelf,  to tell Emrie,   the beauty and power of imagination when things might feel flattened by loss of the known.   

down in the right corner….Lizard.   who knows everything,  watches,  listens.  Attends all Life.   is the Witness,  the being through which the story of this Hill might be told.

there will be more flowers.   I thought  of the Bach Flower Remedies…that i have used at different times of my life.  The most known and common,  Rescue Remedy.     I thought of  the man,  Edward Bach who    Imagined   and  went forward to make connection between Flowers and the human condition.   Between Flowers and Human Beings.   Flowers.   Us.   He Imagined.  The Flowers responded.

    Just as seeds respond…
    How the belief that together, by planting a seed, I have faith in its ability to grow and nourish us or give us beauty, food for the soul, and the seed has belief that I will tend it, do all in my power to care for it so that it can complete its purpose.
    I’ve thought a lot about this, especially this morning as I sat on the ground, patting a few coffee grounds into the dirt around my Swiss chard,cracking some egg shells into tiny pieces to put around my tomato plants, ruffling the long tendrils of my assorted thyme plants, picking a few leaves of red oak lettuce, munching on a peppery nasturtium leaf; how what I can do to go forward is to never lose faith in the communion between seed, hand and dirt. Whether I garden on a 1/2 acre of as in here, several pots and a wee strip of dirt, there are no limits to my expectations because my imagination embraces the whole of the experience…
    It is small this thought of mine, of communion, but it is vital, this exchange between seed, plant and self and to me, it is how I always, no matter where I am, move forward…

    (((Grace))) the crow flies as your stitching dances with the changes to the tune of John Lennon’s “Imagine”! Talking of Flower Power, I went to the local naturopath last week and asked for some Rescue Remedy with a little added extra for the days when I am not coping with the grief, she added Agrimony to help me drop the mask of the sad clown and let the tears flow like a river…
