sewing therapy

i cannot seem to shake a heaviness of heart,
but as i often do, i have found sanctuary in 
my light filled sewing studio. 
tea towels for some newlyweds i know...
callie and victor
emily and john
and one for someone who just got her very own apartment...
...and there, right under my nose,
a hidden word that made me smile.

breathing.
i am breathing.

  1. Lovely. My meditation today said that we all seem to be built to love and to create. You do both swimmingly, Karen.

  2. They are lovely tea towels - and a wonderful idea for a present. I am so sorry you are heavy laden at the moment and wish that I could lift your spirits - I hope that the making and creating can help you to feel better.

  3. Somehow the Shakers come to mind, though "Om" wouldn't have been their prayer. But "hands to work, hearts to 'om'" makes perfect sense.
