needed a placket.   Magic Buttons have weight.    

 

i had off handedly wished for a Therapy Group to work through all i'd not become.  said that and then in conversation here,  we would need a facilitator and

Wendy,  Wendy Golden Levitt,   appeared   Out of the Blue and said     i'll do it.    Gathering at the Well.  We have gathered.

It's been one year.    August,  we begin a new round.   While the world seems to be falling apart,  we are mending ourSelves together,  our Selves,  eachOther   and i begin this round with   all my loose ends of 

grief   

shame

Joy

Magic

These two dresses are my "uniforms" for this.    worn with  Purpose.   The Leaflitter dress with Magic Buttons    The Michelle dress.  As i wear them,  i 'll know more.   

Things are coming fast.   When you learn how to Ask,  it seems to happen like this.   Things appear,  things find themSelves,  things Present in oh so singular moments,  say   LOOK!    Here!,  where i've been all along!    Waiting for you!

 

the Leaflitter Dress,  the Magic Dress

really will only need two functional buttons,  ie with button holes.   maybe 3      so the rest would be just for Magic?   What about Magic and leaflitter?     a lot of questions arise.

they follow the Evacuation.   maybe are even    FROM   the evacuation.   Or simply because it's time.

Michelle's dress.   She sent it.   A dress that knew her body,  that walked with her around NYC.   Was   orange   when  i couldn't "do"  orange,  so….just put away.   

But today,  becomes one of two.   The Magic Dress LeafLitterDress  ,  the Michelle Dress.   With them,  i'll learn how to live in these times.

and then,   this.  Which i might repeat many times ,   because it needs repeating until it      sinks in.

 

from Karen Caputo   Facebook

"this constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie,  but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot  distinguish between right and wrong.  and,  such a people,  deprived of the power to think and judge,  is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.  With such a  people,  you can do whatever you want.

folding and sorting the things i had washed at Alyssia's,   i found this.    i don't know what i thought it was when i stuck it in the washer…just some walnut dye  muslin?    But it's This.   a work dress for 100 degrees.    It is   muslin.   It must have come at some point from Dharma Trading.  Long Ago.   i'd cut it up the front.  Needs buttons.   Began looking for the button jar.  which i couldn't find

 

but i did find the jar with these,  these   …magic…  beads…what i had called them in the days of Magic

 

and things began to ROLL OUT from there

keep looking for the buttons,  the beads would be always only pinned on with safety pins…the safety pins…but what if it was a Magic Dress?   What if ,   in it,   i could be invisible…same as leaf litter. hidden  …EarthLeafLitterMagic dress?   What if it's time?

Thank YOU, Sandy      

so  much.    I didn't even know you had them all these years.   How Wonder FULL,   to see them again.   Love and Love…..and more Thank You.    

one of the very first ones,   like,  Very first ones

grass is grass

my long long long time Friend     Sandy     sent me these photographs of some of the fiber figures i made ….in the early days  of them…Book Store days,  Ann Arbor Michigan       I was surprised to see them,  to know she has them.   and wondered how they might be different after all the time with Jude Hill's teachings?    i'll continue to put them here for these last few days of over 100 degrees…..until we return to the 90's for a week  and i maybe find out why i am      how    i am………   Thank you, Sandy
