A handwoven tapestry.
Weaving memories of a life, moving through the impossibility of loss, turning unfathomable pain into something beautiful.

Tomorrow I will kiss your beautiful face for the final time, pay Charon, and stand witness as you become alchemy.

You have been the one.

I found the verses after all.
Lying next to you,
My lips resting on your brow,
Inhaling you
My love, my heart,
Half of my soul.
The words were there all along
In the lyrics of your favorite song,
Your final lullaby.

Dedicated to my Michael, 1976-2025

Somewhere in a valley in North America, a 48 year old man is dying at home, under the care of his wife and a hospice nurse. He asked his wife to find a box of letters and cards he’s saved over the years, so she can read them to him.

Here’s one.

I’m the wife.

“I love your work, but why is it so expensive?”

Lady, I spent approx 112 hours on this.
It’s worth it.
I’m worth it.

First we play, get a little messy and tired, then we make things

I’ll acknowledge it! I hope you find a gift of joy or contentment on your birthday, be it from a friend, a stranger, or the silly grins of very good dogs. Like these two.

The year is 33 days old today
I’ve spent 15 of them in this hospital
Over 3 separate stays
Watching my partner of 28 years
Fight fight fight for 1 more day
Because 48 orbits is too few

Big clouds building to the east, very what is now Pilot Hill, a few years ago, SE WY.

I miss so much the time before, when my husband wasn’t dying and we could go chase beauty together.

Yes, we’re all witnessing the USA rapidly morph into the crotch goblin of plutocracy and kleptocracy dressed, and yes, it’s indescribably horrifying, but at least there are still moose 🫎

So… here’s a #photo from 1945 of (L to R) of my grandfather, my immigrant German great-grandfather, and my great uncle, when the two younger men had returned from killing #Nazis in WWII. #antifascists #immigrants #fucknazis

I’d love to see more photos like this. Please share if you can

I’m going to start a weaving of this #mountain #sunset #landscape in an effort to create something maybe a bit more beautiful and definitely less harmful than the current reality in this part of the world.

Photo by me, somewhere in the Snowy Range Mountains, SE Wyoming, 2023.

In my previous life I had an academic job, teaching and researching in a very red state, and I taught a comparative history class called “How to Overthrow Your Government.” Imagine trying to do that shit now.

Anyway, here’s another amazing dogger I get to call my friend.

Here’s our ferocious beast a few years ago

This is a most amazing dogger. You can tell, right? Now, come on, ya know you want to. Do it. Boop the snout. You’ll immediately feel better, I promise.

Sharing this in case anyone else needs a visual reminder that the snow and ice will melt and the roads to better, kinder places will eventually open.

Literally and figuratively.
