On the Eve of Change... Friday January 20, 2017

Friday the 13th, Panguitch, Utah 2017

Well change is coming...
promised or otherwise...
change is the one thing we are always sure of... 
the movement from one day to the next for one...
the Country change is coming from the east, again...
this country has always changed from east to west...
change follows the sunrise...
once the easterners become westerners then comes the difference of opinions...
how long does the east to west change take ?

The toy story moves on...

       


  A large empty hole is now in the basement where all the kids toys, that they did not take with them, were stored... discovered while looking for something else... so that was a day relocating them, the toys, to new homes/owners who wanted them.
Getting a new leader of a free world country is not much different then clearing the basement of the old toys... only the new leader makes some folks mad and another group happy and they were all just looking for a change... i am not sure we will know for sure what we each got until some time after the new guy moves into the eastern white house.  i for one am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, pray for him and his group and watch the blues and reds switch sides from the past eight years of change... they all want to get  what they want but none wants to give-up what they have... it's funny how the guy going out always looks better then the new guy coming in... ChanGe.

From one cracker to another... here comes change...

      The big country change comes tomorrow, Jan 20th 2017...
"...come what may and love it" !!

So the power struggle will go on...
Kindness is the essence of greatness...
we are in need of more kindness...
hang on to hope... 
love thy enemies...  along with your neighbor...
the Lord's hand is in everything...
continually hold fast to the iron rod...
we have been scattered & gathered...
diligently seek for peace... i know that God loves me & you and this country.

Quilt Pattern Collage #1, selfie, 2017

       I always feel better/comfortable with change when i have some control over it...
in the past two weeks some new inspiration over came me... with the recent collage  work i have been doing and the strong quilt tradition here in Panguitch, it all begins to effect me... so i searched out eleven quilt block patterns, then questioned a local quilt expert, and expanded them to the size of 6.75" x 6.75" square on graph paper, then transferred the pattern to cardboard and cut out the cardboard pattern pieces...
i have six different quilt block patterns...
using the photo images i created myself...
i cut out a quilt block pattern and collaged them together to create a  juxtapositional photo collage... 
i now have six of these blocked-up quilt patterns complete and will "live" with them for awhile and see how/if to work on them some more, which i am sure i will...
they appear to me to be in a very "raw" state and lack something... at this point not knowing what that change will be to create the finished piece...
so like our country on the verge of change, so am i on the verge of  another change...
"come what may and love it..."  
Cheers to the "new" folks and the President in the east...
