On death and dyeing

One of my favorite things in the world to do it to dye silk and just about any other fiber there is. One of my least favorite things to do is experience dying, no "e".

I haven't posted in a long time because I have been dyeing a lot of silk lately and walking through a dying experience with my dad.

Both experiences-dying and dyeing change things. Both are complicated. Both forever change what they touch. Both start out one way and end up another way. Both can be a beautiful thing. Both can bring tears to my eyes. Both are mysterious. Both can be spiritual. Both involve chemistry. Both teach me about myself. Both are transforming. Both make me introspective. Both make me cry and both have such potential for commentary.

I'll be back to blog later. For now I need to think and pray and regroup.

Dye on.
