Don’t let what’s churning underground stay underground. Let it out. Protest. Let your voice be heard. No kings.

Bright reds and yellows in a quilted depiction of lava under the ground. Representing all that we hold inside instead of letting out. Speak your mind. Protest injustice.

Don’t obey in advance. He wants you to be afraid. Resist intimidation. You only belong to yourself.

No Kings.

No matter what’s coming toward you, you have the power to stand up to it. Libby Roderick lyric: “I never have seen a holier sight than a person who sings in the wind.”
Stand firm even in a gale.
No Kings.

I’m serious about 2 things today.

1. Resisting politicians that are mean
2. Color
Color gives me the inner strength to resist.
What gives you inner strength?

Sometimes I need to wrap myself in what came before me, to be reminded of the women who put their joys and sorrows into their handwork, long before my time. I need a long perspective today.

Cape of the ancestor women. Made from antique quilts. This piece is about remembering that the women before me put their joys and sorrows into their hand work. I gather strength from what they made it through.

I needed a little break from the chaos of our world.
I am back at it, doing my part to support the resistors and defenders of democracy.
To do the next outrageous thing that’s needed.

Mine is inside. Bats and moths pollinate in the wild. Produces some version of dragonfruit. Tropical plant. Stunning as a houseplant- mine blooms 4-5 times a summer and each time has 2-6 blooms.

Seriously in need of a bit of miracle and beauty?

Night blooming cereus. From bud to full bloom in 90 minutes. Blooms for 1 night, only for about 8 hours.
You can literally watch it tremble as it opens.
