The Essays tab was getting so long, it was hard to actually get to them, so I divided them into two sections. Click any link below to go to a different essay. The quilt at the right is another one of those Giving Quilts, one I made as a wedding gift for my husband's former boss and his new wife. Unfortunately, I hadn't learned at the time that if you really want it quilt, you should really make two at once and keep one for yourself. Ah, well, when I run out of new ideas, maybe I'll remake this one, some day.
There is vitality, a life-force, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through another medium. It will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is…It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. - Martha Graham
