I had the opportunity to be on web radio, but more importantly the pleasure of speaking with a kindred spirit about my journey, to feel the ease and flow of conversation minus the struggle of explaining.
She got me…and I her. We looked at life through the same lens…from the inside out.
Usually it seems I am the odd man out, I am seeing things from a unique angle compared to others in a room, but this time I felt her looking with me in total understanding.
I was also able to see me in a broader way, to realize how far I have come, how my art has led the way, how intuitively I have walked forward and the distance I have traveled.
I have been so intent on this step here that I didn’t see how far I walked, how much I have changed and how deep within I had gone, or even how I now appear.
It is like working on a piece of art, but not stepping back from it…to remain close and perfecting each tiny stroke, not realizing what you have created.
I knew that I had changed drastically, but I don’t believe I saw the beauty in the changes or even the wisdom.
And I was truly able to see the art in me.
To see my transformation from patterns and dark colors and rigid lines to being the Lady of my quilts.
I am the lady…I can see how we are merging, I am catching up to my lady. The distance is not such a future dream and far away hope and desire, but that I am living her life today.
I am free, I have self-expression, I am empowered, and passionate, I am truth, I am me.
In the interview I saw my Lady speaking, and she was me.
Love her confidence and attitude…and I love that it is within me, has been…waiting for me to embrace it.
This is how my quilts hang in a quilt show…they never seemed to match. The first time I seen this, I cried, for they fit in like me…not the same as the rest.
I eventually was able to recognize that not fitting in was okay…but I still chuckle at
how different my quilts appear next to others…just like me we are in a league of our own.
I M Perfect lady
