Not life as usual, although I can pretend.
Life is flashing before my eyes.
I am not focused on anything in particular.
I probably posted this pic before. It's Dad and me. It hangs over my table now. I think of Dad in Spring. Yes, his birthday is around now but it is the season, the garden, the simple love of life that bring him here to me. How he was right about so many simple things. I remember him saying, "Everything is just growing". I remember him as a blanket.
So many bits and pieces tacked up around here with no particular reason except to look. The Hopeful Beast caught my eye. Maybe I need to stitch a few in between endless worrisome chores.
Cloth still hanging around, everywhere, having lost my energy with the Gallery/Shop project. Just seems petty at the moment. I am distracted. Time seems unnaturally short.
This one, a patchwork fragment from a pillow I made for Mom years ago. She wore it out. I think it's ready to be reborn. I've done some dyeing over it. I keep touching it as I walk by.
I love light switches. That thing that makes it dark or light. They are simple magic. Reminders of on and off.
I will do a simple preliminary audio test here tomorrow. To see if I might just be here and not on Wordpress. Simple and slow is on my mind. There's nothing to do really, for you, if you want to follow my final workshop here. Just subscribe to the blog through email. And remember you must go back to your email to find the confirmation email and confirm your subscription to activate it. You can donate or not anytime, it is not an issue. I will make a broader announcement over the weekend, to make it official, so far I have only talked about it here.
The car battery is dead so today it's that, but the good news is the taxes are done and out of the way.
