Spirit Cloth

doodle Thursday

It is always interesting to discover the order in nature,   the nature of order.  The nature of a thought.   I will be back home on Tuesday.  After so long.   I miss my home.   The Man.  But not thought.   Funny how thought travels with you.   It is at home wherever you are.

A rainy day...

Couldn't help but notice the umbrella star was formed by multiple pairs of wings.   And the persistent pain of a turned ankle.   And mom's labored breathing. And everything really.  Noticing it all.   But with some heightened sense of appreciation. I hope I explained that right.   Actually, I have always been obsessed with that.   Explaining it right.   Hoping that might be possible.  What else is there really. ?

Tired

 

Tired ... but not really tired from stitching.  Trying to be here as best I can....because that's what I do.  The back of the Wind robe will be very special.  Because I am stitching through something...

Time. Cloth.

Days are passing here at Mom's , with plenty of time to stitch, but not much to say about it.   I look forward to being home for a few hours tomorrow.  For now,  (the) Wind (robe) is my home away from home.

another doodle Wednesday

I love this more than any drawing I have done in a very long time.  It is honest and has startled me in many ways.   The quality of a line is directly related to your connection with it.   It traces the nature of thought if you let it.   I see my own fear in this drawing.

Cloth is

Cloth is something you can hold on to.

I'll call this Trying to Understand

 

I think what I like about this piece is how simple it started out and how complex it has become.  It has been a sort of unconscious going  to stay balanced.

This email scamming  is nothing new.   But it is for me.  I have been lucky for all the years I have been on the internet,  never ever to have this kind of problem.    This new scam  poses as Google Documents  and is very wide spread.  It's aim is to steal your email password and then your mailing list, hoping that you and everyone else you know will have other more valuable accounts with the same password.   Never do that by the way... have the same password for email and other stuff.  That is really internet 101. 

In general, it is good to change your  email password  as a precaution  if you have clicked any links in recent emails  that asked you for you password.  From me or anyone else.  Because it is going around.

So.  With the help of the Man,  I have secured my email account and  have recovered part of my contacts.  Still working on it.   But I know that  by now,   a lot of my mail has made its way into spam folders, so I will probably  have trouble contacting a lot of you because of that.  In addition, I have been locked out of sending mail from my spiritcloth account, for now, so I need to  wait a bit with all that.   Please know that there is no risk opening any of my mail  unless it is that one spam mail that asks you to enter your personal information to view documents.  And even then it is only  giving up that information  that puts you at risk.  Not the opening of the mail itself.  My account is clean.

It is not a Gmail issue really.  I am still comfortable there.  For now, I have opened a new  separate account to keep in touch  for classes.   All communication will be under the name of clothwhisperer instead of spiritcloth.   Emails in response to class purchases will contain  a thank you and a link to class and a user name and password to get in.   You will never be asked for any personal passwords in an email from me.  Ever. Any other links, documents, pdfs, etc are always presented within the class environment. 

I am taking some time to connect my new email address to all the appropriate accounts.   And iron out any kinks.  The shop is temporarily closed to decrease the incoming mail and give me time to settle out.   I will still receive your mail at the old address if you send it there, and it is safe to do so.  And I will keep you posted on changes.

There will be at least a 2 week delay in the beginning of What if Diaries.  But again, let's see how it goes.   I will try to resume posting over at Spirit Cloth Diaries in a few days and complete that series this month as planned.

I am getting a cold.  It has not been a great week.  That's OK.   I have lots of new what ifs and I will get to them sooner or later.  Looking forward to it.

Thank you all for  your patience and community spirit.

You know, I'm tired.  Yes I'm tired from what life gives me as a challenge, but really I can keep going with that.    I am more tired of shortsighted-ness.  And that is all I will say about that.

Here, I have tried to express  how place can  transform us.   How delightful that can be.  If we look further.  In one way it  connects us  and in another way it sets us free.
