Picking burrs off socks
Saying to each small prickle
Oh, aren't you clever!
Windsock trying to
Braid its bright tails is asking
For a bobby pin.
The long knitted chakra banner got divided into three, threaded onto very thin, very flexible dowel which was then formed into a circle, cross supports added (chopsticks), the weather-resistant string from the original windsock put to use (with its little swivel) and the new and rejuvenated WINDSOCK is now merrily windsocking. Delighting me. With the added ingredient of its handmade'ed'ness.
The windsock that had 'spoken' from across the street the day I set out to find a replacement for the windsock that was 'dying' stayed in my mind and when I went back to the store and it was still blowing in the wind, well, I made it part of the household as well. It is in the original position and the added satisfaction here is that it resulted from listening to the inner voice, going where it led.
