Pin Storage

January 7, 2020 The Ponderer1 Comment

Part way through my most recent project, my pin holder was FULL! So I found another container and dropped the first pin in. It landed with a dull thud. Then I kept working on my project (and finished it today!), adding each pin every time I quilted in the area where it was holding things… Continue reading Pin Storage

The Edge

August 17, 2019August 18, 2019 The PondererLeave a comment

My yoga instructor suggested we consider “the edge.” In yoga, I believe that suggests how far a pose can go before it becomes uncomfortable. This may be a degree of bending, an amount of straightening, or things like that. She wanted us to explore our edges and consider exactly where they are in our yoga… Continue reading The Edge

Distressed!

February 16, 2019 The PondererLeave a comment

Sometime over the past few weeks our snowman windsock became plastered to the roof. It is frozen in place. This was likely due to a combination of wind, rain and icy yuck (delicately referred to as wintry mix by our local meteorologists). Yesterday I noticed the snowman is upside down. This made me think of… Continue reading Distressed!

Retreat!

October 28, 2018 The PondererLeave a comment

October is a special month, I get to go on two quilt retreats.  Although, they were different from each other both were excellent.  I got lots done and had even more fun. One important discovery:  The Duck Song.  Give it a listen! And I thought about how sometimes one has to take a step back… Continue reading Retreat!

Watch

February 19, 2018 The Ponderer2 Comments

I have mentioned before that I don’t like to know the time during yoga as it distracts me in ways I don’t appreciate. https://wp.me/s8idub-patience This has led to my not wearing a watch during class.  It is too tempting to check the time, and is not how I want to shape my yoga practice. This… Continue reading Watch

Balance

February 18, 2018 The PondererLeave a comment

For the past few weeks, we have been considering the various elements in yoga.  In the most recent class, our theme was balance–the joining of the various elements in our practice.  This led to more balance poses than usual (and I am still not very good at those) but also integrating the various elements into… Continue reading Balance

Space

February 11, 2018 The PondererLeave a comment

We have been working on the various elements in yoga recently. The final element was Space. As I understood it, that has to do with connections and relationships. Well! That was apparently all I needed to send my mind in a million directions. And lately I have been doing much better at focusing on yoga… Continue reading Space

Reflect

December 29, 2017 The PondererLeave a comment

This was our word of the day.  We put it into play as we entered some poses twice, pausing after the first time to consider what we might change.  I did come to realize that you never enter the exact same pose twice. It is also true that I focused on my yoga more than… Continue reading Reflect

Allow?

August 19, 2017September 15, 2017 The PondererLeave a comment

Yoga was directed by the word allow. My instructor said this had to do with allowing one’s body to move into new positions and to allow for possibility. My immediate response was that my week had much to do with resistance. As I spent time on my mat, I thought about this disconnect. I participated… Continue reading Allow?

Connections 

June 6, 2017 The PondererLeave a comment

I just finished reading a book with an interesting page set up. Some of the top edges were not cut as usual.  Those pages were stuck together.    As I read and separated pages, I thought about how people used to always have to do that on a first pass through a book.  And I… Continue reading Connections
