Hooked Rug: Setting the Little Birds after 0

Setting the Little Birds Free. As you set things free you discover that you what you are really setting free is yourself. Letting go is about making room. Maybe it is room for small things. It is more room to be. I sometimes hang on to my routines longer than I need to. Superstition perhaps. Comfort in doing it the same way over and over. Letting go of things like this I discovered is really setting myself free. The little birds already were.

Coyote coming home. 0

I travelled so far only to find what I was looking for was what I had left behind. I have heard versions of this many times in quotes and story. After a long drive and a vacation with friends That I took looking for inspiration I was arriving home and saw a coyote standing on a snowy ridge in Southern New Brunswick close to home. On my travels I had seen nothing that inspired me so much as I did when I finally came home. It is that sense of knowing, of the familiar, that sense of belonging that really inspires my work. I just felt this wave of comfort come over me when I saw that coyote standing on the ridge.
