Heartened murmuring at Thorn Mountain.

A cloth bookmark or pagemarker embroidered with threads of red and natural shades on silk and ecodyed fabric scraps that told me a story, it goes like this... Heartened murmuring at Thorn Mountain. As time healing grows longer, each hour joins another in non-escape. But will there be time to escape? Maybe go down a mountain of pricks, through the bramble of thorny thicket. Trying to maneuver safely, hopefully minus further injury to sanity. Instead, I re-dreamed exchanging for another route by a divine light that I be lifted to soar in formation, warmed by the Sacred Heart casting compassion and community across all humanity as one. Unknown when I'll be released to walk again, my mind will continue clamoring the return for a renewal of human benevolence. One all might walk hand to hand, hearts as one.

A hitchhiker, the "blue" one.
Caught backside along the way, intertwined amongst the layers. Never meant for the story but here we are.
Meditative hand sewing opens me to create stories in the present. Parts of my journey.

"With every season she made a random reckless promise. She saw movement with her ear, told stories with her nimble fingers. The size of her shoe mattered not as much as the width of her wings." Unknown

Rail car diners across the states.
The South Shore Soda Shop addition brings reference to the South Shore Line commuter railway I'd hop from South Bend to Chicago. Get to Goshen, get the #pie. Guy Fieri approved.😋

A rare phenomenon or "reverse surge" as cold north winds sucked the bay out to the Gulf of Mexico.
Made for walkable parts for some. I limped out for a closeup.
Lots of debris waiting for exploration.

Basket seats motionless,

Thrills held in for rotation.
Joy wheeling.

Closed 2025, licking wounds.
February at horizon,
tide over.
Forced to stay down,
accept ceaseless, jarred healing.
Roaming,
takes last place.
Scroll the past,
old views,
add newer stories,
for now.
Camera charges.
Dreamt adventures soon,
beyond the passing clouds.

Scaly-breasted Munia

aka
Spotted Munia or Nutmeg Mannikin.
Rusty brown spotted bird on a tree limb on the Gulf of Mexico coast. Native to Asia. Quite fun to watch feeding in large group. So aerobically fun. Sweet songbird.

"blue deviled"

from needles and thread
healing circles in rotation

a crater hole cast in her limb
disguised as reddening spokes

next up an unwanted repeat
a miserable twin

(Slow meditation hand sewing of pattered circles in natural and blue threads stitched in white napkin) ... as each day spirals too much restrained brooding her toes point high up towards the sky each lowering offering spinout loud burning rushes squeezing her soul only left to lap more chilly floorboards energy sinks, moods spiral and cameras sleep patience looping slow turns of reasoning karma vs punishment she called out "bad luck" cannot lie, walking through life she yearns a gift never taken for less, ever and forever as stitches bear on, days climb her will calls out no more unwelcomed surprises just glorious days of healed push-offs and long awaited healing steps. return her a straighter, stronger trail.
