I suspect you will find your way into a whole new place if you have the focus to stay present with your inward reflection and its outward expression. But beware of grasping too tightly.

I loved the random words on Navigation 1 because each one seemed to put a picture in my mind. Navigation 2 makes me think of a tall building with birds flying high above it.

This morning I re-posted this quote on Tumblr as I'm feeling the need for quiet and open space.<br />"I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of thinking and enjoying what they call living, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds" - Jack Kerouac<br />I can feel the calm in these pieces. Loving the small segment of stitching.... definitely a case of less is more.<br /><br />Hope you are feeling less overwhelmed soon.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-54794159877224566152012-11-17T01:30:14.350-06:002012-11-17T01:30:14.350-06:00this looks really intriguing…beautifully quiet and...this looks really intriguing…beautifully quiet and thoughtfulAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00294031837043482355noreply@blogger.com
