Illusions of depth. Dive deep into the fabric of the craft. Explore. Follow the patterns as they meander across the cloth, joining into closed shapes sometimes and at other times becoming pathways to infinite worlds. Each cloth - each stitch - has a unique story. As I sort through them with my mother the room… Continue reading Depth Dive
One type of legacy. A broad question looms: What is legacy? I answered some of that in last week's post. Beyond that, there are the following considerations, based on activities I have done a lot lately: Sorting through *stuff* in my house: I separate it into what’s useful and what’s not. Each item has a… Continue reading Legacies
I deviated from the usual types of books I review (biographies and poetry) with this one. Its interesting premise piqued my interest. Did it hold up? Read my review to find out!

Usually I accept books to review with a deadline of a month ahead, to ensure I allow myself the time they deserve to read the books in full and write… Continue reading Reedsy Review #8
