It's been quite a year.

Each week,
​110 pounds of compost
processed in the bins behind
our garage.

That's 52 weeks
of at least 110 pounds 
each week, which adds up
to 5,200 pounds or
2 1/2 tons.

As you know,
compost is a thing
for me, coming from a
place of deep caring
and ongoing
​curiosity.

January 1, 2019 - - My first sampler: "This Compost" by Walt Whitman
In 2019 
that compost
inspired oodles of
photographs, yards and
yards of embroidery, and an
entirely new way of 
thinking about
myself.

I wonder
where these tons
of compost will lead
in 2020 and
​beyond.

What twists
and turns will emerge?
Will there be chaos or coherence?
Every year, it's the same 
wondering. What's
next? Will I
be OK?

Will we
be OK? Will 
we find renewal
from transformation or
will we remain
stuck?

Will we
choose uniformity
or diversity? Will we hover,
like these hydrangeas 
above the fray...

...or will we
let ourselves 
​mix
and mingle with others, and
in the process, embrace
the mess that may
emerge?

Will we?
Will I? These are
the kinds of questions I
ask at the end of each year. It's hard
not to, especially when there's so much going
on. At this moment, though, I wonder how these compost
photographs will inspire you and me to transform
ourselves in 2020 and the decade ahead.
Keep me posted. I'm curious...
