There is a harmony in Autumn,
   and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer 
   is not heard or seen.

Letting Go

July 15, 2008


In life we cling to the eternal youth, to the vine (shrine) of what we think is life. 

There is beauty in letting go. 

To that end, we scatter ourselves to places we never knew existed, to places that stumble upon the beauty we didn’t even know we possessed.

Grey

January 11, 2008

The bell clear morning
gave way to a day drowned in rain.
The worn, grey deck boards
shown slick and sleek,
hosting a dance for the raindrops
that fell fast and furious
but soon tired
to the slow rhythm
of a southern drawl.

Invitation to Poetry: Full Moon Rising

Cycles:

Guardian of night
keep my secrets
wound in your silver net,
hold them tight to your bosom
as you drift back in time
as you slip into space.

Remember me.
Come back to me, Guardian.
Reveal to me my secrets
Anew!
Now dreams
to plant in the coming day,
now gifts
rich with promise.

Invitation to Poetry “6”: Beauty of Broken Things

From every darkness
illumination can be seen.
From every shadow
a light is over head.
From every sorrow
tears wash clean.
From unmarked paths
a new direction is led.

What to make for Norovember? hmmmm, I have given it some thought and have these few things on the list.
1. Noro Hat
2. Silk Garden Socks
3. Noro Scarf from Brooklyn Tweed
4. Simply Seamless Pouch
There are a pair of mitts in the Stitch n Bitch book that use Noro, too. I will diffenately make the above hat. I hope that gives you all some ideas if you are so inclined to join in. I am trying to find patterns that don’t take too much Noro. I have to budget myself! If you have any other ideas, feel free to share.
Have a great day!
