want a piece of my studio? + poetry 2
EDIT: all the packages are gone!
Yikes. Cleaning out the workroom (/living space, now). Didn't I just finish doing this at the old apartment? How can there be so much stuff--after paring down so, so much? I have three cigar boxes and a shoe box. Those are for any notions, trim, ribbon, and bits-and-pieces I want to keep. They'll come to France with me. I know there are probably more efficient ways of packing, but it's comforting to me to put things in their places. To make those places up.

I'll bring fabric, too. Just a few favorite things. I'm still trying to use most of it up--making things for the shops and for myself. And for friends, too. But the fact remains (more than facts alone remain, alas, or I would have MUCH less packing to do) that there are beads and ribbons and fancy Japanese papers and fabric and stuffing and bits and bobbins that I won't take with me. That maybe I would never use? And maybe you would?

And--poetry. Thank you all for your comments on the last post. I'd love to keep hearing your thoughts on what I wrote and on what you find in the comments. I'll write more this week.

I just emailed you...love the site!
There is, all around us,
this country
of original fire.
You know what I mean.
The sky, after all, stops at nothing so something
has to be holding
our bodies
in its rich and timelss stables or else
we would fly away.
...
Listen, whatever it is you try
to do with your life, nothing will ever dazzle you
like the dreams of your body,
its spirit
longing to fly while the dead-weight bones
toss their dark mane and hurry
back into the fields of glittering fire
where everything,
even the great whale,
throbs with song.
-Mary Oliver, from Humpbacks
I love this poem in it's entirety but these first and last stanzas are my favorite. I find this poem so poignant. I'm never able to read it without crying like I did this morning as I read it aloud to my two year old daughter. I've never read poetry to her before. Suddenly, it seemed like a good idea.
Am I too late in posting for a piece of your Studio. I am sure that France will be an amazing experience. I would be glad to pay for postage, I am in Minnesota also.
