The eternality of the circle shows up
on this page of my
Little Khadi String Book
It's a wabi sabi
circle
and it doesn't care what anyone thinks of it..
It isn't trying to be something
that it is not.
What I love about slow stitching
is the serene pause..
as I lift the needle and stop a minute to breathe
and to relax
each minute of breath is filled with
a subtle solitude of connection..
and this connection
hooks me up into
the flow of ideas
that will populate in so many different ways..
what to bake next..
how to finish a project..
what kind of tea to drink..
just simple things
that make up a life.
it is a sweet pause
that at once, creates ideas
and also nurtures rest..
the stitch asks us to allow..
and I capitulate to wherever the needle
wants to travel..
I think I will experiment in my studio this week
and we are going to head to the beach one day soon..
have no fear, we have masks and it is not crowded
at this time of year..
I will also try to finish some paintings..
and get some reading finished as well.
Perhaps you have noticed, I have not been able to keep up on
comments and if you choose not to comment
I will completely understand..
But I thank you for every single word.
