I entered the shop and was immediately drawn to the sweetest cats on a pale yellow background. I held up the swatches of fabric I had brought with me, and discarded the lovable cats as being incompatible. I walked on. Stopped. Walked back to the cats. I began to THINK and ARGUE with myself. That was my first mistake. My second was going against my intuition. I bought the fabric, but somehow it just does not "work". Is it the tone or the hue or the colour? I am really too inexpert to know. I just know that the wrong side of my brain won the argument, and somehow the cats came home with me.
This is my pursuit ... allowing
intuition to take over and ignoring other arguments. I can almost feel an area of my brain flexing itself,
rather like pain after unusual exercise.
Yes, I brought the cat fabric home. And yes, it did not make the cut for this present quilt. Instead, the cats sit looking at me and echo the following wise words:"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment".
