Beginning with one of Jude's moons, this cloth exploded into being... "Cosmic Crossroads".
The morning paintings are looking more and more like cloth to me. There are a few ideas about following this thread. So many ideas, and even with all of the time in today's world, it still doesn't seem enough.
Moon and I are home alone for a few days. Still, with most of his day spent at school in his room, other than meals, I hardly see him. I'm grateful for the moments of connection when he pops downstairs to share something of interest now and then.
School is going so much better for him (and us!) than last spring. There is no blame in that statement. No one was prepared for what happened and everyone did the best they could, but really, for the most part it was a wash. This year there are expectations and accountability- class, small group and one on one meetings with teachers and other students.
Moon even loves most of his classes- especially theater (we're looking forward to the upcoming online productions they're creating), physics and math. I've listened to his recently written one-act (death, chess and existentialism), tried to understand the existence of ten dimensions (I got lost in the sixth), and the other night, when he came down distressed, feeling that he and his peers are losing this last year of childhood because of the virus, listened, and tried to offer hope, as he hoped that his passion for math and physics lasts, and that "someday, if I'm lucky, I'll figure out a way for kids not to be afraid of time like I am." His deep thinking has always amazed me. (P.S. My time has been spent with thread (with no idea of which dimension I'm in). These tokens, "Cosmic Crossroads" and other story cloths will be in the shop tomorrow (Friday, October 14th, 9am PST). Thank you for taking a look!)
