Today I saw an owl on a branch near a creek on a wooded path in our neighborhood. I had seen this owl about 3 years ago. I wondered all morning what brought him to me again... was it

struggle, pain , happiness ,hope? It was a gift no doubt from the heavens from the earth.

I chose this weaving because of the no. 3 ... the weaving has 3 layers.. 3 pieces of dark bamboo separating each layer from the one before. I knew though even before I saw the owl , before I connected with the earth for that day that I had shed a layer

and moved upward.

All one has to do is listen... to the earth , to the wind ,to the birds,to animals .. just listen and watch for the small details for the spaces inbetween the struggle, the pain, the happiness and the hope.

This is from one of my weavings on canvas. It reminds me of clouds, life, breath and harmony. Sometimes we forget that word and its importance..... Harmony.... it is peace, balance,

and breath all rolled into one word of purity. Find some harmony in your day... all you have to do is look and it will come to you.
