My back is better. Nerve pain is in the rearview window. I’m engaging with my body in a new-ish way- listening better, and softening. It’s been cold here in Vermont. I’m doing what I can to not feel like a dried up raison.

This tea blend I made maybe will help? It is beautiful to look at and to smell. Thyme, Echinacea, Marshmallow Root, Milky Oats, Rose Petals, Linden… Nature and her gifts are endless. How is it that we abuse her so and assume she will always provide for us?

In my studio I’ve gotten back to a tapestry that has been woefully neglected yet is so important to me. What is that about?

And at home my tables are covered with projects, including little experiments like these, that are igniting my imagination for pieces that may or may not come to be woven. We will see. This tension that always exists between all of the ideas and the limits of time is a character in the story of living.

Wherever you are, I wish for you warmth and peace.

Until next time…
