on still life ...

By:  carmen bethel

like the painters of old ... Still Life ...socks are my still life ...
the usefulness...
the anatomy ...
application of color ...
the tube .. types of heels (over the years) ..
sideways ... two needle ... crocheted or knitted ..
gauge ... color ... materials  (yarn)... tools

why ...what... who... when ... where

why not start the day off right  ..
by ending with a good night ...
 ... wear your socks to bed ...

Taps
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing near
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise for our days
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky
As we go, this we know
God is nigh.

I am thinking about the 72 hour knit-in .... it will soon be October ...
Is America a country that has no culture of it's own...?  What will be
knitting for 72 hours ... well,  one thing will be funeral socks...like why not knit
a pair of socks to wear to your own funeral ... (wicked witch type scene)
Ladies ... are you a pants person ... socks  for your last scene...

how to look at this ... moment in time...

a little ni--er slept in the woods
Lying on his back,  looking at a cloud
Had to say out loud
I am a man
a little ni--er slept in the woods...

ancient times ...the thumb print was a person signature...
today... a signature for summer could be ...
"a little ni--er"

Some people call it the enyzme diet...
nothing with melon... meat is not use a
source for protein... a lot of juicing...

nothing unusal....On being Black

this health thing is very interesting... try an
afternoon cup of "coffee" (recipe below)
and a 2 mile walk...in the morning...


Shadow in the fog
Night hiding in the creases of the day
sky and sea
No matter what I remember
It is another day

Each of us has only one life ..

what this amounts to is :
one tablespoon chicory
one tablespoon dandelion powder
three tablespoons Pero
40 or more ounces of water....
not exact... for an one of a kind cup of  coffee..

to continue...
a little ni--er slept in the woods...
afternoon played a song ...
in his memory
a little ni--er slept in the woods

life ..?

I am so excited... "going healthy"
I am having garlic soup... nothing fancy...
and I want to try to make a bread recipe...
using celery,  carrots and walnut flour...
of course I need something to drink...
this entry was to be about ...a collective
of women working for 30 days
straight ... making merchandise for the swap-flea market ..
a pair of garter stitch socks ...done on two needles  ..
spiral ribbing...
and how it is natural to make two so as to have a pair...
unless you are special and were born with three feet...
hunch back born with three feet
     After Thought Heel
I accept the facts I can
I can
connect
I am different,  yet the same
I am
lame
sorrow has no4 walls
www.developinghealthyhabits.com
I never have time and life is escaping me... and soup
turns out to be... boiled mashed garlic turned into a peanut butter
spread.... on commercial bread...
