There is Nothing More Powerful than Creating

This first bit of interesting arrived in the mail late last week.  It brought with it a very interesting discussion of what they term "knitting's new guard" (Vickie Howell, Adina Klein, Shannon Okey, Clara Parkes, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, and Debbie Stoller).  A bit to think on that.  Kinda been letting their ideas of community and finding a quiet way in a technology driven world just sit there a bit.  Maybe it will go somewhere.  Perhaps not.

When another item just as moving comes along you think that maybe you should be paying closer attention.  Simon Schama's Power of Art did a piece on Rothko on my local PBS station this week.  Even if you don't care about art, hate modern art, watch it.  Think about it.  This is why fine art is so important.  Suspend your beliefs and opinions on his work.  I did and wound up in a lovely, contemplative place, quite far away from ordinary.
