WEAVING IN PROCESS

Spontaneous Right Action
Spontaneous Right Action… What?
It’s hard to discern sometimes, if everything
is going in the right direction.
As individuals, we get caught up with
everything going according to plan,
and when this doesn’t happen, we get entangled with: “how did
this situation get to this place?”
Each new weaving requires a set of tools for producing.
For this particular piece, a frame loom was made.
The warp was applied, end knots were put in both top and bottom.
Weaving commenced.
In the Vedic Worldview we look for
the flexible flow in each and every situation.
When we are “in the Flow” it means everything is flowing easily,
like the river flows to the ocean.
As this story goes, this weaving will be the reflection
of its surroundings — the mighty Atlantic.
Using the mylar balloons found on the beaches of the Atlantic.
Connecting the piece with its surroundings.
All seemingly going in the right direction.
Selecting the weft material, cutting and preparing the balloons,
I used a 9-ft lease stick (which I had
made by a woodworker in Brooklyn)
to open the shed for a simple tabby weave.
I then keep that lease stick in place to use every other weft insertion…
I then started the next lease stick insertion and found that every other
mylar insertion took about an hour to complete.
My individuality popped in and the internal interrogations began…
How did I not think of this?
I had, but simply thought “it will be fine”…
What I didn’t think about
was how that start and stop
hindered me from the flow of the process.
How do I get to the right place,
to support the process of evolution rather than damage it?
I manage to do my regular 2x a day meditation.
How can I manage this?
Simply get out of the way of myself, my thoughts, my frustrations.
Slip into your practice and the connection to all things.
In meditation… you will
receive the hint of what to do.
Thanks to the help from my two assistants,
Rebekah and Eve, we created 9-ft shed rods to shift the warp yarns.
The Right Action is happening.
How is it flowing in your life?
