The most Glorious Chicken
Found. Finally. After years of hope.
This perfectly intact cotton Household Cloth. I could not believe my luck. There, under several walnuts alongside that road was this cloth. Finally. Hope prevailed.
My most loved blog ever beside Spirit Cloth is Grace and Mending. graceandmending.blogspot.com. Grace is her dog. She is Wendy. Her last post there was Jan 1, 2017. Prior to that, September 19, 2014.... The Wind Horse Cloth. Over the years i've gone back there just to read this post. I have never tired of it. I read it again today.
She was one of the participants in the early online workshops that Jude gave us, the interactive ones. This is how i came to carry a deep desire to Find a piece of cloth i could send her that she might find useful for something. All while in New Mex i would have an eye on the shoulder of roads, the freeway, pulling over, walking back, checking things out. But it seemed that New Mex was a synthetic world. I never gave up.
there were times i wanted to send Something, but i couldn't. It had to be Found, her way, fragments found/scavenged on walks, left behind, along railroad tracks, paths through city woodlands. And here it is. Along a barren landscape, under walnuts. I'll wash it and send. I have no idea what she's doing now. Going back and reading through her archives is a joyful thing. You might want to do that.
