Teresa Of Avila
I began to think of the soul as if it were a castle made of a single diamond. Teresa of Avila is the queen of Catholic mysticism. Her book, The Interior Castle, first published in 1588, derived from profound personal experience. Her castle is a metaphor for the human body with the human soul asContinue reading “Teresa Of Avila”
Another Ending Equals Another Beginning
In the fall, I joined the teaching network of SkillShare and created the first four of a series of SkillShare Classes, one of them covered how to make a basic traditional quilt top. The samples I created for that class went on to become 4 different quilts. Two of them I turned into new tableclothsContinue reading “Another Ending Equals Another Beginning”

Chances are that nothing happened at all. Nothing that is, to our three-dimensional consciousness, which sees only what itContinue reading “Ecstasy Is Chosen”
Program Application-Artist Statement
For over forty years I have been fashioning fiberart that celebrates the loving and healing capacity of spirit. In the seventies, an article in MS magazine about quilt making as a women’s art form lead me to patchwork as my chosen means of expression.

The Ego
The ego personality, even while completely desiring and longing for freedom, resists moving toward it, because it fears its own annihilation. Dear Reader: Do you sometimes feel like no matter how hard you try, you do not make the sort of progress you would like on your spiritual path? What is that? Do you lackContinue reading “The Ego”
