these peaceful days.

*

the winds have blown out of the area.

the air is quite chilly. 

-9 F/-22.7C this bright and beautiful morning. 

all my chores and housewife duties were completed yesterday, 

so there is no rush to move into work. 

there is no push to move quickly. 

most mornings, now, 

i find myself at the table with pencil in hand, journaling,  

and making with wool felt, needle and thread. 

i pulled vintage silk threads off the rack,

mingling them with cotton perle. 

contemplation and reflection is the key, here. 

stitch after stitch, 

prayer upon prayer.
