Thank you, Sweet Julie


Sweet JulieK totally surprised me with this beautiful quilt that she made.  How blessed am I to have a friend as sweet as this woman is.  She is a prolific quilter, as well as a devoted nurse.  Words cannot express my heart's feelings.  Thank you, my beautiful friend.

 And the people stayed home...

They read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art,
and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still.
They listened more deeply.
Some meditated, some prayed, some danced.
Some met their shadows.
And people began to think differently.
And the people healed.
And in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless,
and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again,
they grieved their losses, 
and made new choices, and dreamed new images,
and created new way to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.

as for the question you left on my blog, i use a Nikon Coolpix B700, which is a great handheld camera with a 60x wide optical zoom ed vr lens.

Julie is an incredible human being. Such a thoughtful gift is exactly the kind of thing she does. It is a beautiful quilt.
Okay, did you write those words, or is there a source? I love them.
