| The Thinking Place slowly rises. Etta James stands guard, October 1, 2014 |
Dearest
Readers,
A status update:
My Thinking
Place rises slowly in the Vermont field. It’s messy at this point. I’m stacking and interweaving the sticks without trimming, for now. I may need a protruding branch to support a
limb, or enhance a shape that may present itself as the hut materializes.
I work
on it for 30 minutes about three days a week, alternating with long hilly walks
to the post office in downtown Peacham two or three days a week. Sunday is my
self-appointed day of rest. Building the hut is a slow process. I get pretty
tired, but my method suits my propensity to make art in small daily doses. It’s
like counting on big living rosary beads. Little Etta James is off the leash
and ever patient. She never asks, "What the heck are you doing?"

More updates in a couple weeks... I'll be away for a while visiting my daughter and grandson in Brooklyn for his 6th birthday.

Oh yes Cecelia! I am big fan of incrementality! What a beautiful place to build a thinking place. How wise to build it at the speed of the body!
