going to where
You’re going. You have what you need: colors and trust. Oh, and focus. . You’ll get there.
going where?
I was feeling low today. The sun was shining, the dog was happy, people were kind. But… my back hurt. Yes, I had overdone some – “if you do this, then you will get that” exercise/make me a better person thing-a-ma-jig. And now I was hurting. And I’m all grown up, right? And not supposed […]
doing it wrong
Today, I was here with Fred (carpenter Fred) replacing some pulls on my kitchen drawers when they started falling apart. The fronts of the drawers were falling off. I’ve lived here for a month and not noticed that they were about to come undone. The story of this house has been so full of unexpected […]
that time of year
Green. Remember? Remember green? Vaguely. It’s somewhere hidden in the back of my brain. I think I can conjure it up. Well, then again…
distraction
At certain times, I want to be distracted. I welcome distraction. I look for it. This past week, I had a friend visit. Yay! Time out. Kristin and I have known each other for years and years. Recently, she has opted to live in a very southern climate while I… I moved ever so slightly […]
deciding
Snow day! Eclipse day! Let’s move some pieces of fabric around day! (exclamations day!) Randomly. I was reading an article in the New Yorker by Joshua Rothman on decision making. In it he references Tolstoy’s War and Peace, where the Russian general is asking himself: what decision did he make that ended up with Napoleon […]
dog’s life
Do more! Make more money! Find more “friends”! Feel the pressure to achieve. Feel the pressure. Or not. The alternative? I look at my pup. Living in the moment. Wagging her tail. Making up fun. Loving her food. Falling asleep anywhere. Aaaaaaaah. The only drawback in her life? Peaches doesn’t see color. No color. Now, […]
“linked in”
I’m not an internet savvy person. And, for some reason, it’s not at the top of my list. I seem to be more interested in getting outside or messing with other things. Like my fabric or getting this house kind of fixed up. But I’m friends with people who have the skills I lack. And […]
more of the fifth
There are times in your life when all there seems to be is action. Action. Action. It’s needed. It has to be done. You can’t get from A to B without picking up your stuff and moving it. Physically. And then, friends come. Family come. And a new baby. Not the same kind of action. […]
that fifth element
I can recall certain moments when I was struck by space in a painting. Not in a painting that hangs in the Met, some world reknowned piece. No. A painting that was in process. In one instance there was a figure of a rope. The rope loosely followed the form of a circle, and as […]
