Hesitated to put this here now….since i can't tweak the image and it appears  a washed out version of it's true color.     But it needs to be here.   Maybe someday i can fix it.

this is the woven medicine bag that Nancy,   Nancy Erisman   Pomegranatetrail.blogspot.com  made and  gifted me years ago.   In these last days,  close to the beginning of Windthread's crash,   she posted.  9~9~2023.   Go look and if you already have,  look again.   As i was deep in the midst of questioning the whole thing of blogging,   it carried me with it to a beauty full place in my heart.   I thought of the thing of Tikkun olam  We have talked about over time,   mending the world,  and i saw this post as kin to that but 

Tending       the world.

How this is what she does and has done for so lovingly long…she tends her world,   her small part of the planet like some Goddess.   i smile.   but,  really.   as i read it and looked and thought and felt …several times,   i kept getting    a Movie…her,   Large….like Big….as big as the biggest trees,  or bigger.    moving along,  through,  slowly, slowly,    along/through the world she travels over and over.   Never tiring,  she places her feet so care  Full y   inbetween creeks and dry riverbeds  roads and telephone lines and tressels and gates and all manner of things people make.   She towers over all this  in her goddess form,   leaning gently over,  gazing down  Upon.   She says

"each moment is its own.   come travel with me,   Moment to Moment.   May you embrace everything,  really." .

 

the medicine bag has been packed away in the Evacuation vehicle.  Just there,  safe.   But i got it and brought it in.   I need it's medicine now.

    Within each medicine bag that Nancy creates is found spirit and love that ripples out and is also found in her words, photos, and drawings that she shares with us on her blog. What is also found is a deep caring wisdom, a wonderful sense of humor, information, music and so much more. How she sees the world, how she cares and shares what she sees, is such a profound gift and because of this, she connects with everyone and we are all the better for this.

    how we are bound together so very gently by the ether-real threads of words and imagery that are our blogs … and the very real threads that we share as gifts to each other … each stitch that we take furthers the connections between us

    What a beautiful woven bag. Such good medicine. I clicked on the photo and then clicked again to make it bigger, so the bag appears much bigger than lifesize. It looks spectacular.
