I hope all of you have something to buoy you in these times. A place to dream and find wonder as we continue to resist.

I love the notion of a dandelion soul, resilient, tough, and light enough to be blown by the wind.

Stitching on antique quilt piece, this piece says “only the wind knows where it will carry our dandelion souls“. “By AR Asher. As we continue to resist, we need a little whimsy and inspiration.

We show up even when we’re frazzled, frustrated, scared, overwhelmed.
We keep resisting in all the ways we can because it works.
We keep linking arms with others.
We all have a part to play.
What’s yours?

News of the weekend combined with cold and snow has had me do these. I assume many of us are feeling some version of these.

Working out my sorrow and anger through my hands and stitch.

Resist. Stand with Minnesota.

Seems like, at this moment in history, we are about doing things without knowing how to do the things we are about to do.

Like defending our neighbors, democracy, nonviolence, speaking out, showing up over and over.

Funky embroidery on an old antique quilt piece. The text says: doing things without knowing how to do the things I am about to do. It’s what we’re all up to at the moment in confronting the crisis in the world.

Make noise, rise together,rest, repeat.

I went to a wildlife refuge and witnessed 27,000 snow geese. I thought of Minneapolis and all the places that are now having to make a lot of noise, peacefully.

These geese inspired me to make more noise.

“I was saved by the beauty of the world” - Mary Oliver

The original quilt piece was made by an unknown woman for whom perfection mattered.

My added embroidery is imperfect on purpose.

What we have in common is a love of beauty.

Clasp hands in solidarity and community.
Hold tight to each other.
Hold onto what is just and life-giving.
Be colorful and full of nonviolent conviction.
We are in this together.

I love the way the new year triggers hope- even though the world feels bleak after a chaotic 2025.

Wishing you all a year ahead full of compassion, goodness and a new spark of resistance.

There’s a lot of love and support here on blue sky, and I am very appreciative.
