this took a while. i kept wanting to do it but tried not to but ended up doing it….. 9 10 and 11 are all from the same piece of cloth.
it tells a cloth story about belief. about loss of belief, or loss of a chosen innocence of belief. of coming face to face with that. Realizing it has been a long time coming, has been a process of some years, really. 30 or 40. And never wanting to give words to it. Feeling it was enough. In Catherine's good comment she gives words about Impermanence, the ground of Buddhist Teachings. and then Nancy writes about a word i'd not known, Venmod, a swedish word: "pensive melancholy, tender sadness (negative) calm feeling that something emotionally (positive) significant is over and never will be back." Wiktionary . How these are the story in this quilt block….it's hard to say, to find words that can convey my sense of things….but …., well, in other times of the past, long ago, a Lot, i would have felt that Making Things had some power….
making things can have power
i am not able to say much else about this at this moment, it's too much, but what is different maybe i want to Try to say….? i'll try…….what's different is that any "power" is in the
sensing. in the degree of which there is open ness to Sensing …..ummmm, the "prevailing winds". Sensing what is All Alive and in Motion of which you are part…part…a Kaleidoscope and you are one of the glass shards moving with and into changing forms with all to form a Big Picture that then changes. What you Make helps you see this.
this is not it. it's a good try. i'll need to keep trying.
