Packet

In the throes of packet production again. Those 3 weeks keep sneaking up on me. Yet, it’s a good span of time. Long enough to follow a thread. Not too long if you drop one. It seems to keep one honest. And engaged.

Interesting how each one is a different experience too. This time it’s been 3 or 4 days in the making, little bits at a time. What with getting ready for the Open Studio Tour this weekend, it’s a lot to juggle.

But I managed to get to a project that’s been on my mind since returning from the residency in July. That is, to tie the gold threads around something larger than one of the small fetishes that I’ve been collecting for years.

On my way to pick up signs for the upcoming Open Studio Tour, I drove one of my favorite roads in the county, Strever Farm Road in Pine Plains. It’s just always stunning, ever season of the year, every time I drive it.

The roots of these giant shade trees are fascinating and beautiful to me. More sacred knottings to come.

And by the way, if you’re interested in a visual look at what I send off in my packets each 3 weeks, just visit my Flickr site. Haven’t figured out yet, how to share the written contents of the packets. But I’m on it. 

Baby steps, as always. 

May your days be filled with the Magic Medicine of time to reflect, and time to do, and time to just be.
