Always noticing the light. Today's walk gave me that gift. Looking for the light can be both a good habit or a disappointing one. Tonight, I've been listening to election results roll in, live stream, with Steve Kornacki - who seems to have a deep love of data and statistics and sharing information and his understanding. I'm happy to listen to info, minus the chit-chat and lame or irritating commentary. I have not watched him or that channel in a very long time. But, it works tonight. And it seems to be paying off to look for the light!
I've been watching this skeleton tree on our neighborhood walks. I love how the afternoon sunlight hits those bare branches. It stands there looking naked and not holding much life, yet if you look closely, you can see itty-bitty new growth happening. There is always hope, yes?
I chose to use simple-symbolic colors…shades of blue for the hopeful Democratic blue wave, brown, black & white as “people colors”…a dash of yellow for sunshine & hope…a thin red line, for connection and this phrase written on dyed muslin: “YOU ARE NOT ALONE”. Remember, the red thread and the phrase are a part of my new weavings...I believe they really belong here...a strong statement.
I was so surprised to see this vine on the wall that I've walked by dozens and dozens of times. How have I not noticed it before? My search says it is a Virginia Creeper. Not sure if that is right, but it sure is pretty.
As the results keep pouring in, I complete this new Medicine/Spirit Bag. I'm thrilled with it.
I joke that it seems like a Blue Wave, Kelvin Wave - King Tides and a Tsunami all rolled into one!
