New Basket

Posted by Susan Bradford on May 12, 2011 under Susan Bradford | Be the First to Comment

I just finished a two-day basket workshop, and this is the result.  The material used is willow bark, and it is amazing to work with.  Beautifully grown, harvested, and prepared by our teacher, Judy Zugish.  With eleven people making a variation of the same basket, no two were the same.   Such a great creative opportunity in such a nurturing environment.

Even the Buddha….

Poem 0110 for Anita – short and sweet

Posted by Stan Stewart (Sawyer) on February 26, 2011 under Stan Stewart | 2 Comments to Read

I was the non-tall kid in my grade school
And my stature has never really changed much
In comparison with my peers.

So each time I get a retail coffee, I ask
For a “tall”, hoping beyond hope that
Today will be the day.

Poem 0103 for Anita – musical parts

Posted by Stan Stewart (Sawyer) on February 19, 2011 under Stan Stewart | Read the First Comment

Wind whistles trees,
Caverns, Trestles,
And houses along
Its way.Trio

It carries its part well.
It knows it by heart
Or improvises;
Carefree and winsome.

Yes, I do think
The wind makes up
Its song as it goes
Along.

Not too many variations
To my ear, at least.
And yet never boring.

Drifting in and out,
Wind wafts
To the rhythm of
Its own creation.

Making an ensemble
Of itself.
A symphony for
It’s own delight.

Poem 0058 for Anita – zero

Posted by Stan Stewart (Sawyer) on January 4, 2011 under Stan Stewart | Read the First Comment

In-between, there is that temperature:Waterfall
Frozen water begins to drip
And liquid water begins to freeze.

Whatever its state, the water
Does not anticipate the change.
It simply flows or hardens

As the in-between requires
Of it. As if it were an artist
Responding to inspiration,

The ice or fluid begins to take
On the newness of this change
Initiated by the in-between.

This is the spontaneity of water;
That it would be ready at any moment
To shift from liquid to solid

And back again.
