more softness

I feel awe every day
when I look out at the sun glittering on the water
and every night when the moon does the same thing.

I live in a lonely beauty.
Manitou means God.  Manitoulin Island is Spirit Island,

and this spiritual place is embedded in my stitched art.

This work also is based on the ideas of destruction and reparation

and more softness.
honesty.

More humility.

Life changes in an ordinary instant.
We bleed.

My work is done in a rush of slow.

It gives me self-healing.
I hope that it communicates something to the inner inner of my viewers.

This piece arrived for me without too much thinking,
in a rush,
It came out of an almost erotic inner dreamworld
very sensuous and intuitive,

and then my hands touched and touched it.

I stitched and stitched
through the spring
throughout the summer
and now it is September

and all the while i knew it was art and yet it was also something else.
A healing cloth.
I felt myself becoming whole.

inner symbols
cosmic
circle-heart
almost a mandala

My work holds the whirl of each day
the rush of time
the emotions of life

I'm just doing the best I can.
