I watched this blog being born today. The rain lashed the windows while the wind rattled them. Yet the "Daily Focus" went from conception to infancy, with the light of the computer screen reflected on your face, and two dogs curled at your feet. It could have been three dogs, but I refused to get on the floor.
What a great picture!
We should look at it again tonight, over spiced cider and apple jack. What do you say?

From my studio in Hampstead, North Carolina, I solder and bind together books of various sizes. These books may become the archives for thoughts, memories and photographs.
I am also a fiber artist and a nature printer, and I love to share my knowledge with others.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." – Melody Beattie

Looking, Walking, Being
I look and look. Looking's a way of being: one becomes, sometimes, a pair of eyes walking. Walking wherever looking takes one.
The eyes dig and burrow into the world. They touch fanfare, howl, madrigal, clamor. World and the past of it, not only visible present, solid and shadow that looks at one looking.
And language? Rhythms of echo and interruption? That's a way of breathing.
breathing to sustain looking, walking and looking, through the world, in it.
