Does this fit you?

A question of kinship & tailor-ship

Weft & Warp = Words & Heart.

Dear Friend,

I am a tailor.

I have yards and yards of material within me, patterned from the weft of words and weave of Heart. It pours from my body and out onto the table in a rather undignified manner. A huge pile sits in front of me right now, in fact…

Sometimes, especially when I am quiet, it comes so quickly that the fabric folds upon itself, over and over again across the desk like piped icing.

And sometimes, especially when I‘ve spent too many good sunlight hours indoors cutting away at my cloth, I walk away from the table with nothing but a few scraps to make into a hair tie. At least it will keep the sweat away from my eyes when I next use the rotary cutter.

Tell me, because I am just a tailor and not the cloth, what can I make for you? What is working for you here? What would you like to leave this little shop in the wild with?

I could spend a lifetime creating what I need most - only to find out that there were people right outside my door, naked. But I do not have experience with community - I only know how to open the door and offer you a dress, or a shirt, or a pair of psychedelic-print flares... but I don’t know how to open up the conversation and ask you to stay for a hot meal.

Would you teach me? Would you tell give me your suggestions of how this newsletter could best dress you for the outside world?

I’ll unroll a couple of ideas that I’ve been gathering:

• More short poetry to inspire your healing art

• Lessons on how to write your own poetry

• Journal prompts for the day

• More stories from my own life

• Lessons on how to use nature in your creative work

• A space where we share our healing art with the community

• More meditations & discussions around their themes

Yours in kinship & tailorship,

Sez
