Beauty in the Subtlety
The stars are subtle yet they shine.
They are there when you have the presence of mind to admire them.
Usually in the quietness of an evening stroll, a solo venture.
This will be the first NeoCon in 44 Years that I will not be attending…
My Collection Unified Field
will be shown at Luum, 311 North Green St., 7th Floor, June 9-11, Chicago, IL
There are some beauties in this launch. A velvet, Oblique Argyle,
a recycled garment waste stripe named Forward Motion.
With a solid to coordinate named aptly, Stability.
I want to bring your attention to the subtlest in the collection,
named Subtle Stria.
For its beauty in the subtle.
And the color palette, along with its sustainable story.
Reading a chapter in MMY’s The Science of Being and Art of Living.
It describes how the mind works through its knowledge of the senses in reaction to an object.
When one speaks inwardly and the mind hears, it is because the mind associates itself with
the subtle level of the sense of hearing.
These days, we are being saturated by image after image.
When one sees…
Our eyes are open, the mind associates itself with the open eyes and
connects with the object before it.
Then our senses in the form of feelings are in play.
Like, dislike, too subtle, not strong enough. Just right.
In weaving, one doesn’t transcend the mind from thinking, whereas one does in meditation.
The subtlety of the selection of what comes next is organized by our senses.
What yarn, color and texture…
In meditation, when we allow our mind to move beyond the organ of speech,
it experiences subtler states of thought;
this turns into a feeling of charm, and as charm increases,
the subtle layers of happiness increase.
It’s in the subtle that true happiness exists.
The Statement fabrics are great! But the Subtle ones are sublime.
This week as you walk through Fulton Street and the mart,
see what stars stick out in your senses.
And enjoy the beauty of the collective.
I will be with you in consciousness.
