I always make my Christmas cards if I can. This year’s design was partly inspired by the work of Masaru Emoto. I made these cards with a lot of love, and made sure that intuitively I was “on” and present during each step of the process. I wanted to literally send love to others without just writing about it inside the card.


These are the squares I’ve made. There is no deadline, timeline, framework, pattern or scheme here. There is only a delightful inner awareness of each little part, as it relates to and turns into a whole. The Tao Te Ching says that a journey of a thousand (?) miles starts with one step. Well, the creation of this queen (?) sized quilt started and progresses by choosing and measuring each single square of fabric.


When you’re drawing a tomato, you can’t simultaneously be deciding when to eat it, what it cost, who might like it as a gift, or how many more days before the first frost. You’re only “thinking” about shapes and spaces and lights and shadows. Not only does the tomato start to fade as a definable object, but you start to fade as a definable entity as well! Who you are and what time it is and the car horns out the window all seem to fade away.
