The peace of wild things

      

                          

    

The peace of wild things

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Berry

the last dark days....

before the  Holydays

Warm felt  cloth for cold wheather

Sjoekie Eleven today....as wild as the first day.......

a nice walk in the dunes where I can be off leash and role freely, no matter if  the pineapple needles

destroy my fine coiffure.....

I am who I am

......sjoekie.......

power of nature

It's difficult to combine the picture with I want to say.

As you can see , this piece of cloth is not finished. It looks a little like mother earth for me, and made me think about what's going on today.

Hurricanes, bombs, climate changes, climate tops, earthquakes, deforestation, mudstreams, refugees, richer than rich......

we want.....but

MOTHER EARTH STRIKES BACK

stargazing

a couple of weeks ago i broke my wrist and had a nasty concussion

in stead of stitching, patching, reading etc....seeing double

i play a little with photoshop

no blue eye but sparkling

from he sweet healing hands of Martine came this happy bee artwork and if i lay it on the sore wrist or head it really soothes the pain

Martine works wonders!

it will take some time to return here so

dagdag

Blaf

mysteries

the picture above needed some changes

result...picture below ????

really changed.....

but that's not what I really want to say

 the  pain in my back and leg      overwhelmes me sometimes, no meditation, yoga position, positive thinking , thinking how many people suffer more severe problems, how good my life is,  can help me and sometimes I feel so helpless, I almost feel panic coming up.

The real acceptance is far away than.

                                                                     

suggestions please.....

look behind what you see

detail of medine bag that hangs before the angelica

used  ao stomag problems

don't take life too serious...............we will not survive after all

reading quote above made me smile....

reading goes better than walking so i enjoy it

the blue illustration is a feltcloth i made 4 years ago

and today i used photoshop to dye it indigo .....

mom's birthday

       

mam, i miss you but you're part of it all.

i see you in every pink flower and black cat, you loved so much.

now                                                                    

splashing first of july

some fibers, some felting and the result is a little piece of cloth to embroider

21 juni

hide and seek

while I was reading a book named ......if I forget Jeruzalem from Werner Sonne, the line about hiding your problems..made me think....

if I'm sad, really sad, is reading than hiding?

I hope it's more a mindtranslation ( does this word exist? )

it changes my sadness for a moment and I don't think it's hiding...you?

the picture is from a little carding wool and silk noil for making a small felt item

so many books so little time

Martine

so many stitches so little time

                   

Martine

thank you so much for this piece of art you made fore me while i was with my dying mother Ada

the symbols

the stitches

the nearbyness

the love

so many words so little place to explain feelings

mis you mam

Every goodbye is the birth of a memory (s.dali)

trust me

balance

yesterday I was taking pictures in the garden.

looking better I saw something so perfect

for me Taoïsme means perfect harmony   in everything....not static but in everlasting changing

balance 

it changes all the time and nothing can excist without its opposite

 I still miss tovke, my dog, so much.

it still hurts so much

this is Tao for me.........

isn't that soothing........

                                   

FREE

the fifth of may we used to celebrate  the end of ww 2

it became a larger event

as we honor all death died in every war, we celebrate now freedom as being free

from the bed i lay on i hear the music in the distance, music from the festifal for freedom where i used to go to before my back accident.

such good memories.......

today at the blog from Grace windthread.typepad.com 

 she wrote about feeling free when the wind blowes ( very free interpretation )

she sent me a while ago a pouche/talisman/little baggy where i put all my free thoughts in.

it's so beautiful that my eye catches  it very often so you can imagine how much free moments i have.....if you could feel it..wow

can you see the little figure Grace in it?

free as the wind takes me

                       

happy spring solstice

it's so special to begin spring seeing a little bird making a nest in my garden!

i had to photoshop but can you see?

wishing everybody the longer light !

                                                                    

illustation........?

     
thanks to Mo.........http://www.janetboyer.com/Druid_Animal_Oracle.html

there is no other way than the own way ( Spinoza

it sounds simple but it takes lots of effort to walk the way while you know you don't have influence

that you walk only for yourself, not thinking....do they like me...etc

it is not simple

10 years since Noud died and Blaf was born

a year after Noud died we, the people who loved him, made this cloth.

I like it very much because there are so many elements showing the relations to each other

on the day Noud died, Blaf was born

the picture here was at my former sudio...we were felting she was demolishing

thank you all our friends helping us where possible,

Excuse me.............

Lots of pictures but......

I'm so tired

Sososo very tired 

There is so much fun to do but

Even stopping by at my favorit blogs is too much

Sorry

Luckely they found a cause, i had a stomach bleeding, so not enough iron in my blood. I got it in a infusion and soon  i will be present again

Yes

What is the plan this year?

We are going to have lots of fun with the doezen

But what will be my focus this year

What do I really want?

We'll see

Keep your animals safe.......

Thanks to the makers of the illustrations 

Surprises of 2016... Soon to be seen

 

      

                             

                            

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perchez in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all

Emily Dickinson

Solstice....the light comes back

Actually mankind wants the same

Love and respect

Please look at the things that are the same

Not to the differences

Help each other

Please....?

Het licht komt weer terug, of wordt geboren.

Het wordt me steeds duidelijker hoe we als " mensheid " toch allemaal hetzelfde willen.

Liefde erkenning respekt warmte

Maar hoe we elkaar de ruimte moeten geven???

Alsjeblieft respecteer elkaars gewoontes

Kijk naar wat verbind

Niet naar wat anders is.....

Alsjeblieft........
