Good afternoon and Happy American Mother's Day!
I specify "American" since I have found out that other country's celebrate on other days, which is really quite cool. It is a quiet Sunday here, and I am in the company of my four-legged and two-winged children right now. Our full family celebration will take place this evening. As a result, I have plenty of time on my hands to just think. These days, time to think = a luxury.
While time is winding down at my present job, I'm realizing that my time with my students is ever-so-limited. As my thoughts race around how I will tell them that I'm not returning to their school, I'm looking ahead to my work at my new school...and I'm still pinching myself to check and see if it is actually a reality. I am becoming more familiar with the girls as I see them several times a week. Their smiles are becoming more relaxed, and they actually call me by name (always a good thing). Before I know it, they will have become a part of that incredible weave that I call "my kids." Thank you for indulging me as I look ahead at what that weave will create.
Peace.
The rug in this image is done in the traditional style that inspired the composer Morton Feldman. His compositional style was influenced by the uniqueness of the weave, and the fact that, although the design looks symmetrical, it always has distinct differences that are difficult to find...but they are there. The collaborative work is a thing of beauty, but there is always a sense of individuality within it.
