I have made handquilting progress on my Firefly Serenity quilt. I have about half the left side to handquilt and then I can starting quilting the border around the edge. I’m hoping to have this quilt finished by the end of next weekend. #firefly #serenity #quilt

Sometimes I imagine living there far from everything else that happens, as if the world simply ceased to exist beyond the mountains, and with it the noise, the expectations, the constant awareness of everything. I don’t know if I could bear the solitude or if it would slowly loosen me from the world, until I became nothing more than a part of that landscape: seen by no one and eventually no longer fully recognized even by myself.

A quotation from C W Leadbeater

Sometimes people grieve when they find old age coming upon them, when they find their vehicles not so strong as they used to be. They desire the strength and the faculties that they once had. It is wise for them to repress that desire, to realize that their bodies have done good work, and if they can no longer do the same amount as of yore, they should do gently and peacefully what they can, but not worry themselves over the change. Presently they will have new bodies; and the way to ensure a good vehicle is to make such use as one can of the old one, but in any case to be serene and calm and unruffled. The only way to do that is to forget self, to let all selfish desires cease, and to turn the thought outward to the helping of others as far as one’s capabilities go.

C. W. Leadbeater (1846-1934) English clergyman, theosophist, author [Charles Webster Leadbeater]
The Masters and the Path, ch. 14 (1925)
