I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but adore its opposite too." -Stephen Fry<br /><br />Your post reminded me of this quote which I heard on a podcast the other day and liked it enough that I wrote it down. I love your writing, it's very fitting for this time of year where dead calm before the spring is grinding and ominous yet just starting to tease you with the promise of things to come. Your take on your quilt is interesting too- my first impression was that there's something just lovely and calm and a bit simple about it. But that's deceptive. After reading your post and really looking, the middle is floating, and the edges are pulling apart. It's a damn good metaphor for the creative temperament really. Anyway, I enjoyed your post a lot, thanks.
