meditation on yarn

yarn over hook, slip, yarn over, pull through, twist, twist, and slip the last twisted loop off the hook to leave one lonely loop left. That’s how the blanket gets made, how double crochet sets in… how my mind goes happily blank while I’m working on the blankie.

It’s wonderful, that empty-mind feeling. Meditating, or praying, or just Being there. It makes my blood pressure drop to a steady even rhythm and it is just like the feeling I’ve found can be had by rocking the Munchkin to sleep in my arms in the evening.

All is calm, All is bright…
