"where hast thou wondered,
gentle gale,
to find the perfumes
thou dost bring?"
-william c. bryant
it is much to easy to get lost in the convenience of social media. the lack of a need for any real thought. the simplicity of posting images and short bursts of words.
i am thankful for those of you who read and comment here on my blog. reminding me from whence i started. welcoming me home.
these rust-dyed fragments are resting here for some secret sewing. soon to be joined by other, more colorful, fragments. but for now, i am enjoying their quiet countenance. it suits my thoughts at the moment. the giant grinning buffoon of a coffee mug seeking to draw me out of my solitary thoughts with its silliness keeps a corner of a smile on my lips and helps me to stay on track. but the early morning light sneaking in through the drapes seems almost hesitant, and so my thoughts ramble on in their shadowed halls.
not depressive...just...muted. reflective. the antithesis to the burst of colorful wonky house sewing that blasted through my instagram feed recently. instead, they wrap about my shoulders like a shawl against the early morning chill and listen quietly as my fingers linger on the strings of one of my dulcimers.
it's a good sunday. a quiet, lonely sunday. just me and bodhi. and these quiet thoughts and gently twanging strings. and attentive fragments and that silly grinning mug...
namaste'
