i went Back. Looking for the beginning. Finding it in late summer, 2011. I've written that down because i'm not good at timelines.
I found Spirit Cloth in September, 2009. Wouldn't you know, here it is September, 2016. Seven years. Although i don't retain dates, i am reliable about an internal repetition of seasons. Cycles.
This Diaries Cloth. Had been following all the online work with Jude...Jude Hill and this Diaries Cloth, i wanted there to be space. Other than that, there was no order or preconceived thought. Things appeared as it went along. It's when i began to understand Just Going.
i put this here because it was amidst these pics in Picasa. Not one of these Goats, but one at an event the daughter and i went to in East Mountain. She still was here in N Mex, still had the Goats with her. I loved the eye and a Goat eye went on the cloth.
things moved and changed and settled and the online workshops continued and i continued, the Diaries rested.
i saw in this orange cloth a shape of a figure kneeling in meditation. This was still during the time of working to put myself back together after the death of that person i was married to. This Place in the Cloth was about Taking Refuge, about going back again to seeking refuge in the buddhist teachings.
so i come through the Gate and arrive here. I look at the figure that has faded so, and with pencil, mark her. And i look how the "frame of things" around her is cut....broken. An opening there for things In and things Out. So this now. ok.
and just as a reminder to self...the Archives for this blog go back and begin in April of 2010. Before that was a short time with Blog Spot...from February, 2010...in the transition to typepad, those months were lost. They were important months, the beginning with Cloth Making, the beginning with becoming a student of Jude's. So something to remember, take note of. Stuff can be lost.
