Faith is a Surf Board

Faith is a surf board. 

I navigate life better when I am grounded. What do I need to be grounded? I need sleep, food, shelter, clothes, purpose in life, and supportive energy ... in varying order and amounts on any given day. I need to know there is something beyond this physical world because this physical world is a set up for failure, yet the physical world has been here for billions of years. Humanity is part of the physical world, this fascinating physical world.

Everything in the physical world is made of patterns, fractals, and energy. My human body is a physical biological container with ego hardware to move through this experience. My enneagram, horoscope sign, Myer-Briggs, Human Design, etc. are personality softwares that filter the information encountered on this Earth experience. I am the essence behind the auto pilot ego and personality filters. My essence has the free will to manifest my experience called life.

The supportive energy holds the matrix, life, the universe, patterns, fractal, or whatever physical descriptive word needed for a perspective and clarity. My essence is part of that supportive energy that is beyond my human mind. 

I (me) am on a surf board (supportive energy, God, faith, the unseen world) riding the waves of the ocean (daily life, current events, jobs, relationships, etc.) Sometimes I fall off the surf board, I have to find it again. Sometimes I think I don't need a surf board and almost drown in the waves of the ocean. Sometimes I think surf board is not a surf board, only to find out I was wrong. Sometimes I stay on the surf board a long time until a bigger wave knocks me off. Then I have to readjust to parts of my surf board I didn't know were available to me. Sometimes I need to see how other people use their surf boards to learn something new or learn what not to do. 

It is a trifecta. I am here. The life is here. The surf board is here. 

Paper Icosahedrons

The beautiful shapes of geometry are everywhere.  I love making these cardboard icosahedrons. Twenty circles with three sides bent up in an equalized triangle shape then glued together with a string added to hang. I like to hang them up in a group to see a colors and how the light reflects off the sides of the cardboard.

Flickr - Memories

There are many past memories on my past Flickr account. I found the log-in information and finally able to see the stream of photos again. It is the memories of what was happening at the time of the photos that is nice to remember. I made a new Flickr account when I could not find the old log-in info, because why not make things complicated. Ugh. 

The new Flickr account does mark a shift of time. It seems I am always starting something sort of new, instead of seeing an idea through. Cardinal sign issue. It is true, I have an overwhelming amount of ideas, with little energy for follow through, and nothing gets very far. Now, that I have some awareness around this issue, I'm trying to shift that energy a little. It would make things more fun to get some momentum going.

Focus can be so difficult for me. So many projects to make - all at once, of course! Tear drop bags have been one of my endeavors. I love the shape of the bag. I have sewn a few and have a few in various stages of creation in my sewing attic.

I want to start doing shows again. Realistically, probably not until next year. I like the connection to people at the shows. 

I like to connect with people through the things I make. I did not realize that about myself until I took a class at Mei Pak's Creative Hive site. And, in true Cardinal sign that I am, I have not completed the wonderfully informative class . . . but I will. It is on my never ending list.

Zig Zag Fabric for doll clothes

I looked for a long time for the right zig zag to fit doll clothes. I could not find it. So, I design a zig zag that wound fit a doll. Find the fabric at Spoonflower!

  

 

Have fun!!!
