The Originals

ThreadCrumbs.

Just sorting through the nest. Looking for a rainbow.

And celebrating the paper egg carton.

No more styrofoam please. Please. I need me some chickens.

New Eyes

Continuing.

I made 2 videos. The first one had the wrong focus setting so I had to scrap it.

Here is the best still I could capture from the beginning and I'll just talk about it.

And here is the second part where I caught my focus error.

So this morning it is looking back. And I am too. Looking back and not sure of what's ahead. 

Maybe salad. I'll start with that.

Have a good weekend.

The Basket and the Thread

It snowed not too much. Even though it snowed all day. Slow snow.

Now bigger cold is coming.

I remain focused on shelter.

I woke early and built a fire in the studio stove. Even though I planned not to. I'm not sure how that thread got there. It's been a while I guess because it is covered with dust. Like an unfinished conversation with self.

So much aware today of the shelter aspect of my Basket(Self) symbol. How it might have formed from the fear that lives in me from way back. Not big fear. Small fear that seems always woven in. It might even be the thing that eventually shapes me. I said that to myself this morning.

Shelter is Big. It might fill a whole year with re-considerings.

I'll be mending the Bird Robe today. Cloth is so often Shelter.
