Image from the cover of : ‘Go See 2011
New York: Louise Bourgeois: “The Fabric Works”
at Cheim & Read Gallery’
Bourgeois wrote, “The sewing is my attempt to keep
things together and make things whole.”
The work shown is of textile collages, clothing,
fragments from her childhood, growing up within a
tapestry restoration family business
embedded in her physiology,
all making rhyme or reason of her feelings
to cut, unravel, weave, knot and mend.
She stated that she always had a fear
of being separated/abandoned.
The 2011 show and narrative
planted a seed for me that I now recognize
more fully.
Not only has it held things together, I literally, physically used
the mailer from the show to embody all of my wishes
and dreams from back in 2011.
It has been part of my pin-up wall collage since then.
I see how fully, even before
my meditation practice began, that
“Thoughts become Things”.
Fulfillment comes from those that want to be fulfilled.
Sadness comes from those that want to be sad.
Fulfillment of human consciousness lies in the
attainment of our understanding
of our abilities to bring together
our absolute and relative values of life.
Our matter of what can be.
Who are we really?
What is our true state of Being.
Bullseye
As we experience tomorrow
as the darkest day of the year, let’s build
our own collage of wishes of fulfillment, love, desires,
memories we want to hold or forget,
All bound together.
Our true Being.
Make this upcoming year a year of Light and Fulfillment.
Happy Winter Solstice
with the smells of cookies baking,
incense burning
Beethoven Blues tickling your ears.
