Becoming the Birds
When the song of a bird drifts on the wind it carries with it a finely spun yarn. When the song reaches the ears of a human for the first time, that finely spun yarn becomes a connecting thread. With each song heard, each glimpse of a beating wing, each call noticed, the thread grows stronger. And, as time is taken to watch and to listen, a knowing relationship is woven between human and bird. As the birds call and sing of the other creatures around them, a web of interconnectivity, a rich tapestry is created.
These weavings are my woven relationship with the Birds and what I learn through listening deeply to them. They are continual conversations, and ever growing and evolving relationships. My intention spun into the yarn for this collection is that as humans we hear the birds calling us home, back into a life of reciprocity and wonder.
