Continuing the web/weaving theme of yesterday's post (and no, Charles/Charlotte didn't succumb to the pest technician's monthly maintenance), I've been researching local textile classes and teachers in search of a beginner's spinning class.
With the economy in the shape it's in and my income prospects still dim (perhaps tonight's full moon will enlighten that situation), my rallying cry of "off-the-grid seaside cottage" has reached smoke-alarm intensity and I figured I'd better do something more than just keep repeating that statement.
While researching the spinning class options, and there are several, my mind went to the origin of "spinning tales" and sure enough found the interconnection among the spinning wheels, spider webs and novelists:
*in the U.K., the phrase is "spin a yarn" harking to those days when women would sit at spinning wheels, spinning yarn and tell tales to pass the time.
*the spider "spins a web" meaning forming, creating as when someone "spins" a tale or story
*the novelist completing chapter 3 is making a continuous connective thread
And where does all this spinning lead this post? I don't know; it seems I've lost the thread of connection . . .
...and I wonder if the beginner's spinning class isn't actually parabolic for your writing skills, after all?! (I have to add, tho, that you're hardly a beginner in that department.) Yeah, so maybe the means of fulfillment of your off-the-grid seaside cottage desire is unravelling (!)stitch-by-stitch?! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I should have clarified the "unravelling" from above as in being made known, manifesting, NOT as in falling apart--ugh
ReplyDeleteDear Anon. (meaning also "shortly, soon, presently" in this, its shortened form; I love language),
ReplyDeleteI received your first comment with its intended meaning as outlined in your second one. Thank you for both. And here's to the Universe responding to all "anon." ~TFJ
Oh, you ARE quick at this; that is, "seeing" anon for shortly, soon, presently. And even now, there it is again in my opening, "quick."
ReplyDeleteJust don't leave it to the universe. :)) The universe is crying out to be directed by US, waiting on a maturity (manifestation) that bespeaks the authority of a child of God, made in His image and likeness (a SPEAKING spirit!)... :))
