Picking up knitting
again
but I think I can follow through
this time
a comfortingly intuitive
Teacher
watching quietly, acknowledges my aspiration
as well as my tension
validates my pleasure
reminding me to pause, breath deep, relax
~Our emotions come through in our stitches…
My green yarn runs in a gentle arc
from the ball on her lap
to my inner unrest
emerging stitch by contradictory stitch
from the needle-
awkward, contented, introverted, belonging, grateful, tentative, sure, happy…
The connection
umbilical-like
does not go unnoticed.
