First, just to say because i don't think i've said it before....
i leave the computer on pretty much all day. I come and go from it. Looking to see if anyone showed up commenting, for one, and i go read the uhhh, stuff of the Google news off and on because this IS the world i am needing to Live in
so even though i don't reply back right away, i am carrying your words and thoughts with me as i go... like it's that you all are going along with me
i have conversations in my head with you
i am Informed by your responses.
so sometimes i like waiting and letting things ferment a few days. I just did that, going back and reading it all again and it's good this way for me.
and then....if we could go to Michelle's Blog Ms. Uncertainty Principles....just click on her name in the comment she leaves and it'll take you there....her 9~14 Post about the Bus....Where's Center.... how extraordinary the images she gives with her simple and straightforward telling of something in her day that has SUcH MEANING to me as a teaching story of how things can go
so i put the bells. am not so good at stitching bells, but ok, then, it's enough ok and good. Bells. and i have begun stitching the Desert Willow tree that is just outside the gate that began as a single stick, maybe 2ft tall. a single stick. How i watched it grow, using the Gate as a measuring thing, like we do with kids and a doorway with marks. I distinctly remember looking one spring and seeing that the tips of the branches were at the cross bar of the Gate...when was that???? I don't know, but i remember seeing that and now it's so well beyond and more interested in going sideways, thickening, .....so i stitch the tree. It's going to take a while. Like the tree did.
This door knob. Brought by the same person that gave me that post outside to make me feel at home. Louie, who worked for drugs. But was also him self, Louie, who connected to something in me that i "put out" just because of how i am. and though doing so was a little ify, the person i was married to being very possessive, still...Louie brought stuff for me. He brought me this door knob from who knows where. It's brass with a very deep deep cobalt glass knob. He put it on my old refrigerator door.....???? and when i got the new refrigerator and hauled out the old non functional one, i took it off and put it out somewhere in the Albatross and hadn't seen it for forever till i hunted it down. I'll take it with me when i go. To remind me that things are So Many Things, not just one or some, but
Many. And it's good to try to see it All.
