RBG is BATTB

  Before I begin, I have to rave about RBG, the movie about our Ruthie.
  Yes, I understand some of you saw it at the movies, and you get a star in your crown. However, I sat in the comfort of my home, to watch over and over and over again this masterpiece.
  Supreme Ruth inspires all girls, women, ladies to be better, because we can. We can do it all, birth babies and run a country, get your foot off our necks!! ( Ruthism) This wisp of a woman, gentle voice that speaks so loudly, listen to her. Watch this movie, I think it is on CNN or On Demand, you can find it. All men, boys, watch and learn. Mrs. G's husband worshiped her, looked at her everyday as if he was seeing that young girl he met in college. I kid you not, he was goo-goo dolls, over her until his last breath, and then, left her a letter, that told her, he would love her even in death!! She is a workaholic, force, who doesn't cook!! She is so tiny, and so large, magnificent. Oh my goodness, you have to witness this human, this wise scholar, mother, wife, friend, my new spirit animal!!! She never raises her voice, she is Divine!!
    OK, now to what I was going to write about this Saturday in September.
  I rarely sleep, never well, my fitbit will tell you!! Damn it, sometimes it will tell me, we can not keep a record of under 4 hours!! Whatever, I wake up like a rock star, ready to go, not fast...just a slow roll..of a huge quantity of thoughts. ( brain activity)
  Today was no different, early, early I come downstairs, to gulp down my coffee, and ask the husband, who has been up since 4!! if he was taking a nap? already?! Throw me the clicker, which he does, saying, " You know there is nothing on the telly this early!" Please... I will find something....even with the sound off. ( sometimes, I really need quiet)
  I was clicking away, when I came upon a PBS show on quilting!! I laughed out loud! ( Bill still snoring) I went down the rabbit hole of design and color, and blocks and stitches with joy. They looked at color, like an artist. They constructed these quilts like Frank Loyd Wright, it was amazing.
Even made more so, because I do nothing with a needle and thread, NADA, nothing. Yet I saw, that they too were artists. It truly was a gifted hour of morning joy, that I had to share with Sleeping Beauty! " ARE YOU AWAKE!!!" I so softly spoke. ( Notice I only talk in all caps!!) "You missed a wonderful show about quilts, that blew my mind!" The details, the color, it was a near heaven experience!!" The darling Dr. Bill, did not say a word, but in his best Bob Newhart expression said, " Well what's next?" " I could rerun the quilt show for you? or turn to CNN??" Instead I threw him the clicker, I could not in good faith, turn to the news of today!! I swallowed hard, my second cup of coffee and tuned out the foolishness these fools in power are doing today!
   I closed my eyes, ( you do realize it may be about 5:30 by now) and remembered something my son Hart said to me last week at the art museum. He said, " Mom I don't see art like you do.I look, and keep walking, you linger and dissect!" I told him, I think its a gift, and its OK, as long as you are looking at all.
  I lingered and hung on every word these quilters were showing me this morning. Paying attention, being present, looking at all!!! Did it inspire me to sew, never!! But it taught me to respect the seamstress, the quilter, the artist of material and thread a little bit more. It made me better. And Ruth Bader Ginsburg would say, "That is all we have to do!"
 RBG is Bad ASS To The Bone and RIGHT!!!
