And lives within us, by His/Her Spirit. Today being St. Patrick's Day, we remember "St. P's Breastplate" (aka The Lorica)...God before me, behind me, to my left, to my right, above me, below me...Guiding head, heart, hands, feet -- and so words, heart-beat, stitches, steps. God bless your legs and give you hope for clear paths on which to walk.

As an old arthritic ridden dancer with 2 bionic knees whose feet and ankles are are trying to suppress my way forward, I keep pushing to put one foot in front of the other, I'll be contemplating on this post as it rings so true for me. The part about abstraction and realism also touches the bone of contention we discussed today at an event at the New England Quilt Museum, so I'll be referring attendees and speakers back to your post to help light our way forward in this discussion. Thank you Judy!

I too, like the reference to the authentucity of the source of abstraction.

I wouldn't say that I am destroying them - I am re-reading them and then using the paper, or the covers, or the entire book.

I adore a good paradox. Works of art (for me) come from the "every dayness". <br /><br />Judy,<br />Are you destroying some of your journals to give them a quilt life?Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965433257215362483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-58472159129557701542019-03-15T12:35:56.974-04:002019-03-15T12:35:56.974-04:00(((Judy))) namaste
