Feels nice to be back 'after a long silence'.
A need to be heard?
Quite possible. :)

Quilting
Entered the world of serious (!) quilting by happenstance.Tried to know and understand this craft a little more.A very primitive analysis led me to do this post
The Western and Eastern approach to quilting.
The Western way with its beautiful patterns and composition is nothing short of a perfect musical performance. Not a stitch out of place, brilliantly put together, these pieces of 'perfect art' certainly deserve kudos.
The American modern quilting.. Does it reflect the attitude of the 20th century culture? The need to be perfect.. the need to be almost flawless?
Of course, the need to be precise and perfect, the hours of planning that need to be done before one embarks on a project, is something to be highly appreciated.
But I feel a little intimidated with the western modern way. It scares me to be bound to a form.The need for impeccable performance... not a note astray... scares me
The Eastern way is perhaps more soothing as it gives you freedom, to move around, play and accept the result as it unfolds. The rhapsody of the eastern way I think is more meditative.There is less planning and more room for errors. More room for correction.
Well, then this is Me. And how I think.. feel...do..
Cheers to all quilters.

Silence
Silence...............Wait .... watch....... Listen...... Hear........
Why do we possess an intrinsic need to be heard?
Why do we raise our voices?
Is silence a sign of weakness?
In the quietude of inner silence I hear the whispers of the universe.
I must learn to be silent oftentimes.
I am trying....
