OGT DAILY Day One Hundred and Eighty Two DISCOVERIES

This summer the spiders seem to be vying for top locations in my yard.   With all the rain their webs are easy to spot all jeweled up like great diamond necklaces.

Outside my kitchen door

When Indra fashioned the world, he made it as a web, and at every knot in the web is tied a pearl. Everything that exists, or has ever existed, every idea that can be thought about, every datum that is true—every dharma, in the language of Indian philosophy—is a pearl in Indra's net. Not only is every pearl tied to every other pearl by virtue of the web on which they hang, but on the surface of every pearl is reflected every other jewel on the net.  Everything that exists in Indra's web implies all else that exists” (Brook, 2009).

They are often the first discovering of the morning.  Today when I got back to walking again the other discoveries were sticks (which I am collecting to create an homage to fiber artist Sheila Hicks). I will wrap them and knot them with colorful yarns.

My morning walk


The other discovery was Untermeyer Park in the morning and its gorgeous vista over the Hudson.
