After a week and a half of time off, I went back to work today. Must say it was tough getting up this morning, and...that alarm was very annoying! I also got back to working on stained glass. Chose two simple flower patterns last night and cut them out. When I got home from work this afternoon I set to making one of the pieces - a hibiscus - that will be donated to the Holiday bazaar. It's picture is included in the slideshow below. It's really nice to get back to crafting - I've missed it but my hands really appreciated not getting cuts. Think I'll just do a few smaller sun catcher pieces until I figure out what kind of larger piece I'd like to work on next.
Last Friday evening our church held the annual Wine & Cheese fundraiser. I donated two stained glass pieces for the oral auction: Tulips in the Round and Flower in the Round. They brought in a nice amount of money!
Beginnings
Welcome! I began this blog on the cusp of turning 55 and considered even that quite an accomplishment. Life has brought many twists and turns, which I have come to call the emerging patterns of my life. Contained in this blog are little glimpses of some of those emerging patterns that are continually evolving. My posts are rather eclectic - from spiritual musings, to postings about our grandchildren, nature musings, craft projects, and other news that may or may not be of interest to anyone except me. I hope all who come across this blog will find something of value. Enjoy!

Untitled
A simple heart
fumbling through space and time
waiting in paralysis
of human making.
Seeking not,asking not but asking
much.
Restless spirit
within pulls the mind
in a thousand directions
without focus.
Only One can quell
the confusion
that has become
the way of life.
And that One is
beckoning to take that
plunging step
into the abyss where Wisdom lives.
