New works in the making…
1. Threading the floor loom
2. Weaving the selvedge on the frame loom
Fresh Start
Each day brings about a Fresh Start.
Like each weaving on different looms
feels different.
You get a clean slate each time you begin a new weaving
and each time that you meditate.
I recognize each day when I wake up for my morning meditation
that it feels different.
Some days it’s a pokey meditation…
in which I look at my clock multiple times,
while other times it goes like a snap.
I attribute each of these meditations to be an elaborate
sequencing of what I experienced the day before,
now playing out in my present day’s activities.
Eating too late in the evening, the change of the weather,
getting a long massage,
walking 20,000 steps, getting a good sleep.
Over scheduling.
Simply Energy flowing.
All contribute to how the practice goes.
Both in the morning and
in the late afternoon practice, it’s always different.
The creation of anything follows a definite procedure.
Changing the weave pattern, or materials is one thing.
But the structural change seems to have an unchanging basis.
Like being woven on the floor loom or a frame loom.
Ever-changing creation of infinite variety seems to be grounded on
some stable plane of existence. (the loom)
Like the infinite number of galaxies in the vast structure of cosmic
space seem to move according to a definite plan.
Things change — like every meditation.
Things change — with each weave structure,
Things change — like the movement of the sky each hour we look at it…
but have you noticed,
the incessant change itself seems to have some unchanging basis?
It’s really our approach to the Fresh Start of each day,
each creation, each walk we take.
By meditating twice each day,
we put the grounded structure in place
that allows for change to occur.
Each meditation allows us to tap into ourselves
to our true state of being…
Once there, there is spontaneous support
from all the laws of nature…
Let the mind go there…
Let change happen and see where it takes you.
Try looking at things from a clean slate and a fresh start.
