WRITING
words, images, ideas, musings
Redbud seedpods and authentic marks
To remember to be authentic with what’s possible and already there within us…
Easing away, returning, and turning
When we need to ease away, and when we need to keep something close by too, and when we return to it, knowing well it has changed…
A coming together
The idea of coming together, the expression in assemblage bundles, and working in the opposite way...
Bark, twigs, driftwood, fabric, and thread
What happens when differences get close to each other, and discover that something lively happens…
Assemblage sketches
Assemblage – the process of bringing together things that might not get along, or maybe they do, or maybe we’re not sure. But we can try.
A sense of belonging in winter
Maybe it’s to feel that winter can have a sense of belonging in my heart. Or I can have a sense of belonging in the heart of winter…
Wands, words, wonder, and wanderings
I started making wands. I mean, I call them wands. But they’re not a special stick possessing any magical abilities. Or are they?
Winter rattles
When the rattling within walks me closer to that edge and then welcomes me into the Wintering season..
Rangolis: shadow and illumination
My dark shadows came though, seeking light, and illuminated what I needed to see and understand more deeply.
Trust the flow
I made a healing chime for myself. I became the person who needed it most I figured, after getting very sick in early October.
The imprint of effortless flow
Sometimes flow doesn’t happen when we try and instead is the imprint of effortless flow when we don’t try…
The pilgrim
Maybe it was the leaf that was the pilgrim – showing up from long ago to now, and the now leaf mirroring back to the one from long ago.
Nature’s gifts
Nature is often trying to catch my attention. And so I listen and gently receive her gifts.
The sound of leaf and seedpod characters
When the jostling around settles and stills, each character finds its place in the word/sound to say what they can only say together, in combination.
Accentuating what’s already there
To accentuate, to give that hint of vibrancy, is to remind us of what’s possible and to reveal what’s already there.
Unraveling and fraying
What’s possible when we let go of tightness and let air flow between the new spaces we’ve created.
The marks a fabric brush makes
Sometimes it's the entire creative process that's the most interesting thing, not just the final outcome.
Wands and so much more with little (and big) kids
How materials from the earth, from near and very far, brought my family together one sunny afternoon.
