I like pattern and structure, light and shadow as they offset and balance nature with its unruly patterns. You certainly set our minds to probe through layers of fatigue which is where I am now but in a healthy and appreciative way. Gitta

Your comments re patterns harken back to some extremely insightful comments you made to me that I've never forgotten…having to do with letting my creative mind take over and just following it, working with it, instead of "staying on pattern.". Your comments re patterns have got me thinking how much I love patterns and how much I really love going "off pattern.". I used to knit (you're making me think I need to get the old basket out) and I would start with the best of intentions to follow the pattern (knit one, purl one, red, now blue, now red again, now blue) but it wouldn't take much for me to just start winging it and making up my own patterns I've been thinking that many of my projects are unfinished because they don't have a conventional shape…well, maybe they are "finished" in their own way, in their own pattern or pattern-less way. Thank you Martha, P.S. the photographs accompanying this piece speak so loud to your point.

I too am surrounded by patterns, my cat wakes me every day at 5.30 am, I feed him and make a cup of tea, but then all patterns fall apart! I have a plan for my day but it easily goes array as my curious quisical mind wanders and strays without hesitatiion! So even though patterns and orderly habits set their example I am mostly a victim of a happy wandering mind.
thank you Martha for all your advice and teachings which will eventually bring me to complete A life long dream.
Dorothy
