Jane stopped by yesterday and brought this beautiful piece that she wove from the under wire that she found in ashes from our fire ritual (for those who weren’t there, I’m talking about the fabulous burning of the bras). It’s a nest that represents the resilience and the potential beauty that comes from this experience, but I also see it as representing the strength of friends who join together to form a container or a net in which anyone can choose to fall and be held. Maybe that’s what I see, because I feel very held right now. Thank you for the reminder, Jane!
As for me- I now have some funky little camis (well, technically, they’re sleep shirts…but they’re in bright colors, they look pretty, and they’re 100% cotton- lycra is not my friend), I’m getting lots of good rest, and I can put my arms nearly straight above my head! Still no news regarding the path report, however. As soon as I know anything, I will happily post away. Until then, I’m off for yet another afternoon nap under my freshly washed quilt. Ahhhhhh, the life of luxury.

Hola muchacha,
Marcos and I are blown away by the exquisite nest Jane has made from those sacred ashes! We continue to be amazed by your abiity to find healthy meaning in this process. Spread those wings and fly little bird – fly free – fly high!
we so love you,

[…] once considered so necessary, my friend Jane dug through the ashes to create something lovely- a nest made from the underwire that had been stubborn and tough enough to withstand the burn. I still have […]
A great reminder of the power and support of friends and how their support runs much deeper than lip service 🙂
