Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 76: 

Yesterday was brimful, and while I did get some squares done, I did not post. One thing that I have done over the years when I learn of the pain of someone I love, is to make everything a prayer, a meditation, a strand that sends my heart to them. So yesterday’s squares were about sending healing and comfort to one of my beloveds who is in the first stages of an enormous grief.

This web that we make between us, in joyful times and in grieving times, in the horror of the present days, and the magic of the moment–this web is what we have.  In some ways, every stitch, every shuttle, every round, all the handwork we do, is emblematic of that web we build between us.

I’m so grateful for so many beloveds on my web.

These are the first five of my last batch of 25 for the granny square cardigan, watched over by Mary of the Streets, and a stone from the Ganges River resting in Susquehanna River water. The same water flows through all of us.
