This was such a great read to start my day! Do you weave ivy often, or is this new for you? The metaphors are so potent here. I've had a fixation for a while on the processes of spinning and weaving for some time now. I am afraid those arts are becoming lost to us. Thank you for your beautiful words :)
I have a textile background so have dabbled in weaving before but it was never my primary medium. I just love the multiple ways fiber can be used and how the more intertwined it is, the stronger the construction. Just like all life. Thanks for reading and appreciate your kind words x
We must accept the patina of life to participate in our creations. The threads that frey like hairs that grey are benchmarks of beauty of time. It can’t be cajoled into the perfection of our ideals.
A healing tale for sure. Loved this post!!!!

Those are beautiful words and so true, thank you.
I love this so much! It reminds me of an old TED Talk that I revisit now and again, which I think you would enjoy if you haven’t yet seen it: https://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_wertheim_the_beautiful_math_of_coral?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
