| Montezuma Valley (where Cortez is) from Mesa Verde |
Last week we spent some time at Mesa Verde National Park. I would have stayed longer but they kicked us out at dark.
Weave for us a garment of brightness;
may the warp be the white light of morning;
may the weft be the red light of evening;
may the fringe be the falling rain;
may the border be the standing rainbow.

The patterns in the stone walls are fascinating to me. I have used ideas and feelings from these walls in my Emergence series of tapestries, especially
Emergence I and
Emergence V (links to photos of those pieces). Repetition is important. I have resisted it in many places in my life. But repetition teaches us something. It is comforting, and we learn from it. These walls are beautiful.
