I !want to write. I don't have the discipline...needs work. Have been inspired....I will write about wanting to writel........Have been wanting to write since ten. Ten year old logic says if you love to read so much you should write. Dream on-- only grown ups write. Now I am a grown up, actually by my own description....but I don't have the discipline. So now what!

Temperance. I find I can have too much to say....not enough truly meaningful to anyone but me.

One of my favorite memories is at age 4 or 5, folding strips of banana leaf into geometric patterns. I was obsessed with making them into earrings. i think i still am.

I was super happy to find strips of abaca tassels (abaca I believe is the fiber from a banana plant) formed into soft tassels lined on a strip of soft rope.( I think the whole thing is made of abaca in different fiber forms.) I've made a tassel belt for dancing and I feel very connected to my childhood ideals again.
