Comparing Changes and Old Things

 I wanted to check out the river today, after our big rain day yesterday...so we did. We could see where the water had traveled, expanding the width of the river.  We could see more water, as the river was less covered by all of the growth. 

There were lots of clouds and muggy air. 91°. There were a lot of lizards out. 27 to be exact.



The earth was almost pungent after the rain, but the trees and plants shone in the sun.




I decided to look in the bag, where I've been saving some of the weaving work. I had forgotten that there were older, prepared Power Sticks and small weavings in there. 

So, looking at the photo below:

TOP: All white weaving on oak stick

MIDDLE ROW:  L.A. Fires weaving; from sky to sea on rusty nail, Environment weaving w/ short tree on oak stick, Most recent weaving: Rainbow and Beads. I plan to write "Love is the Answer" on the colorful cotton that hangs down.

BOTTOM ROW: Old woven and stitched piece - what will I do with it next? 2 Power Sticks and one Metta Loving Kindness stick (on the right).

I have no idea what to do with these, as I just made them for the energy and process of making them...and without any idea of next home in mind. Also, I took the last two strips out of the dye pot, so they are rinsed, washed and ready to be written on. Lastly, I had considered 'planting' some Medicine Bags today, but wasn't feeling secure with the weather staying dry. We'll see. 


Where have you tucked away forgotten things?

 

May you stay present in your days

May you get sweaty with living life

May you give it all away
