my release and salvation

My world is cerebral at present. I read entire books in single days. I stay up until 2 am to find solitary time to write my dissertation. One skein of embroidery floss every day, I look forward to stitching it.
Getting out in my yard for a little to rake, I need to do it.

I've been thinking so much these past few weeks of the beautiful art that you posted on January 20, 2009 to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama. I hope with all my heart that people of good faith in the United States will find a way to join our hands and keep impossible dreams alive. I love how you have put your art here right into the leaves of the world. When I look at your incredible watercolors, I cannot help but wonder how you ever find a way to put down your paintbrush and pick up your needle, or vice versa. How do you choose which beauty to create? Thank you for sharing your awe-inspiring art with the world. xo Kari

It must feel nice to let your mind relax while raking the leaves, much more peaceful than our neighbours leaf blower...(wow - I fall apart at about 11pm! Don't wear yourself out!). Your stitched panels are so beautiful.
