It was a seed in itself, really.<\/p>\n<p>I let it wait for just over a year until I decided to revisit it. The inspiration came from looking at a box of 100 wt thread I&#8217;d received as a gift for my previous birthday. I&#8217;d been too intimidated to try the thread on anything. What if it didn&#8217;t look good when I was done? What if the thread kept breaking and I lost patience? What if I ruined whatever I was working on with it?<\/p>\n<p>My Muse reminded me that I could begin with a Start. Practice there, and if it didn&#8217;t come out the way I wanted, that&#8217;s okay. It&#8217;s just a Start, after all.<\/p>\n<p>I felt into this piece, and a new door opened for me. What, in Start form, had looked like a piece about death and darkness took on a new light in my mind. Instead of Autumn, I saw Spring. Instead of Death, I saw Life. Instead of an ending, I saw something new and fresh just waiting to be born. Falling really is about falling through the doorway from one place into another.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2255 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Falling-detail-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Falling-detail-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Falling-detail-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Falling-detail-2.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falling is about the tumble that carries a seed from one world into the next.
