I am a bit worried at the way my fingers already ache/feel pricked, and my right wrist is oddly sore. But I'll keep going as long as I can. I have a high school graduation present to finish!
A few observations:
--Rudy Mancke died on Tuesday; he was 78, and I thought he was eternal. Not really, but he did seem to have a timeless quality that makes his death a shock. If you ever lived in South Carolina and listened to public radio, you probably heard his voice. He was a naturalist and knew so much about his part of the planet. Go here to read more.
--I had a parishioner write me a friendly e-mail asking for more information about what I said in a sermon in October, about when the Gospels were written. I was so happy to be able to answer the question, perhaps in a more detailed way than he wanted. I was also thrilled, of course, that he was paying attention and continuing to ponder.
--Quilt Camp has me thinking about how wonderful it is to have a huge space where we can spread out, sew together, but be working on individual projects. I am remembering a dream I once had, of owning and operating such a space. Would local folks come and pay for the privilege of work space? I suspect they would, but I never wanted to run the numbers to see if it would be a viable business enterprise.
--It also makes me think of retirement dreams: lots of small houses with communal space for creating together. Here, too, I don't want to be the one who comes up with a business plan.
And now it's time for another day at Quilt Camp--let the sewing begin!
