last month, i could bask in the glow of the moon on my parents’ deck in Washington.
we sat outside watching it rise above Mt. Baker.
Bittersweet these memories.
this would be the twin sisters, i guess.
last night, i was joined by some women from the neighborhood,
we sat outside with nice wine, and good food
and watched the moon rise over the hills… through the clouds…
i love the moon, waxing and waning.
no matter where i go, or who i am with.
there is the moon.

those who know me well
in fact those who barely know me
will notice that i am not a bible thumper
i do have a favorite bible verse
which gives a time and a season for everything.
so i stitched it.
on my favorite scrap of rough indigo hemp.
then put that on some lovely linen
with some more scraps.
and then i bedazzled it with my pin collection.
and old earrings.
and hung it up.
today, we celebrate the 68th anniversary of the bombing
of Nagasaki.
a time for peace.
