waiting for the muse: confucian gyrocompass doctrinal

This communication alone, by the comparison of the antagonisms, rivalries, movements which give birth to decisive moments, permits the evolution of the soul, whereby a man realizes himself on earth. It is impossible to be concerned with anything else in art.

A baby crow! Yes, I also love crows and am apparently a lifetime member of ASCAR, the American Society of Crows and Ravens. I sent them $10 over 20 years ago and I still get their newsletters, the Corvi Chronicle, full of stories and legends of crows. The last one was apparently the REAL last one because the news was that the founder and mentor of this loose organizaion died in January. He never let his presence be known but I know I would have liked him from the way he did things and the way he conducted his business. Why Crows, you ask? I just love the haughty way that the crows strut around, the way they own their world. Go to the site and learn more about their society- you too will be a fan. I've included crows in so many of my quilts- I'll try to collect them and re-show here later. Meanwhile, read the Corvi Chronicle online and you'll get the drift of my entanglement!
