My Ancient Doppelgänger

"Sappho" from Pompeii

Life amidst the Reeds


“Almighty God, you know that we have no power in
“Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” . Our morning prayer was perfect for this Monday. I am so thankful for eloquent words, that we may speak them aloud in faith and hear them, FEEL them, when all my powers of creative speech run dry...

Today it begins to feel like we need to exercise prudence in our errandings and outings for the next while. The now-official pandemic gives me pause. It’s real. Time to slow down and tuck in, I think. It helps, though, to know that isolation need not be inside...we know plenty of wide-open spaces far, far from the madding crowd. #therealflorida

Follow up to my last post: On Friday, we gathered to make brooms! 🌾➡️🧹 . I had been thinking about this project since the fall when I became curious about broomsedge. 🧹 Just one of many rabbit trails from regular nature study. This one led me a video by David Canterbury on YouTube. . His channel is amazing 🤩 . Anyway, I watched his bushwhacked broom tutorial and was just...in awe. Simple tools, foraged supplies, and a bit of know-how combine to create a thing of utility and beauty. I decided I had to give it a try. 🧹 So I talked about it. A lot. The idea became a springboard for our occasional gatherings for folk dancing and folk arts. So finally, I decided to just go for it. 🧹 I watched a lot of videos and read some articles about the craft, and then, because I could not find a print tutorial with step-by-step instructions for the lay person, I made my own. . I think it works best in conjunction with a demonstration—a moving visual always seems to help me wrap my mind around a new skill. And while I am no expert, I learned a lot—enough to teach my willing and adventurous friends how to create a broom using natural materials and artisan processes. . And while it may seem like a trivial thing to spend a few hours learning, I don’t think any of us will ever look at a broom the same way again. 🧹 #eyestosee #simplethings #ordinarymagic #charlottemasonirl

We’re harvesting remnants of autumn for a new handicraft with our Folksy Friday friends! I think we’ll need to make several trips to gather enough fiber for everyone ... any guesses what we’re making? . Hint: it’s perfect for the season of Lent and the ritual of spring cleaning!✨ . More to come on Friday! 😉🙌

Happy mail 📚 . My old self would have tracked down the whole series long ago, but my new self says 12 books is a big commitment ... best pace ourselves. . Nearing the end of Swallows and Amazons, and getting excited about Swallowdale! #arthurransome #swallowsandamazons #readaloud
