slowly and lightly

It's dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly.
Learn to do everything lightly.
yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all around you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self pity and despair.
That's why you must walk so lightly.
lighly my darling

If you're lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

Everything needs to change
It is difficult to believe that such changes are even possible
but everything has to change
The way we see everything and our role in it

a square within a square, stability and a prayer for earth, contained and safe

There is a pleasure in making the work that comes from touching the material. 
Process is very important in my work.
Sometimes, the process itself is the content of my work.

praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy,

red thread

even edging a garment in red has an amuletic power
in some countries, red thread is tied onto anyone in a transitional phase of life
