Notice Everything
/
I made a fire this morning
not that it's cold outside
I just like the glow
and the little bit of heat
a small fire brings
Shibori dyed silk jacquard poncho
It is raining
actually more like a drizzle
I took Highlin' for a walk
along the path
into the woods
it's our regular walk
the path is worn
wet leaves have smashed into mud
Botanical prints, leaves on silk
I am careful not to slip
I have fallen three times
a warning to walk more carefully
well of course
isn't that what we are always supposed to be doing
walk carefully
not as in be careful you might say the wrong thing
make the wrong move
as in walk carefully and notice
everything
During this morning's walk
there was broken glass
on a green, moss covered rock
it was placed there carefully
that is not uncommon
broken glass on the trail
I frequently place chipped or broken dishes in the woods
a form of installation
a dinner party
Shibori dyed silk poncho
This glass was more shattered
than my usual place settings
and it was on its own earthy green rock
I don't remember placing if there
could it have been Larry
has he taken up my recycling, upcycling, repurposing penchant
Upcycled jean jacket with felted wool and silk
Could it have been a guest
should I ask
should I seek an answer
could it have been a stranger on our path
that would be disturbing
I will wait and wonder
ponder
enjoy its beauty
the contrast
That was the message in Catherine's photo blog
that is her mission
to notice everything
just outside her door
and photograph it
I will notice everything
just outside my door
I will see with my words
