Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 60:

I’m so grateful for my colleagues. Got a nice pep talk from a neighboring teacher this morning who helped me shift shame into possibility.

I finished the white panel of the bamboo shrug this evening. Here is where I so often abandon a project. I had a vision when I started, and the shapes of these four panels just don’t seem to fit like I intended. Ugh. I’ll strategize tomorrow or this weekend.

Meanwhile, I am still caught in the web between Beauty and Rage.

end stage patriarchy
and the men are drugging the planet
checking her eyes to see she’s asleep
before they ravage her
