the broken ring

 

 

 

 

 

What is broken? It depends.

Today I am thinking about how a ring might be broken. 

1. Intentionally divided by design.  I look at this as a form of destruction and also a form of rebirth. Depending on the intention.

2. Unintentionally interrupted by circumstance and the impact of that. This can create hope  and change but also sadness.  Depending on the circumstance.

3. And then broken simply because it hasn't formed yet or it is simply expanding. Depending on how you look at it. Like when a few thoughts came together yesterday through focus. In this case nine of them.  And the ring is the thread that runs through them.  Because you know it has always been there.

Focus: Can I add one more thing?

color = brown

shape = ring

beast = dragon

concept = sympathetic evolution

number = 9

And so it begins.

Right now just Looking.

A looking ceremony.

The feather basket overflow-eth.

 

(If you are not familiar with this project, you can read about it in my sidebar. A few late feathers have floated in  and I will post them in Gathering Feathers tomorrow.)

The window ring

 

 

I love how wind will bend a cloth and change the form of what's on it. Over and Over.  I love the eye that forms when a ring bends. And I love how a thin cloth shows itself so honestly. Truly a cloth whispering.  And I really love how any color can become brown with a bit of tweaking. Sometimes it is just the time of day.

This is an old fling thing, revisited. Disassembled. I have found new purpose in taking some old thoughts apart in order to put them back together.

It is nice to see students starting blogs and sharing their work. We all know how hard it is to find folks to come visit when we first step into this big web. So go say hi.

Then. there is the the woven/ dyed  fling...

Hanging in the window since summer.

Waiting.

 

the nature of old and new

 Today I am asking myself if (?) new thoughts might move through old self more easily for the same reason as the needle glides through old cloth. .

Yesterday, in Diaries I began to focus on Dragons (it is the year of the dragon) as story keepers for Magic Cloth 1. 

And so all things being connected,  I have also decided to make  the dragon my beast  of focus  for now.  Is that too many things?  I don't think so.  Focus is a little game I play with myself to expand my vision. I have become a lot better at it over the years... besides, deciding, without worrying  is easier.  So now we have:

color = brown

shape = ring

beast = dragon

concept = sympathetic evolution

 OK.
