I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
knitting, photography, gardening, quilting, life
Sometimes we confuse "independence"
ReplyDeletewith "interdependence." The latter, it seems to me, is a healthy sense of community and the need we all have for others to help us along the journey and the joy we have in friends and family.
Independence, as much as it is held up as an ideal (especially for Americans) really tends to much towards self.
Just a thought
All sincere comments are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI used the correct word in the context that I meant to, to the best of my knowledge, and I am going to let it stand.
Perhaps you would like to start your own blog!
Oh, they look so cute...and little! It's hard to believe they are old enough to both be going to school. How exciting for Nico to begin the journey. I just received a letter from Metro claiming to be my "alma mater" and it's hard to believe I'm done. Well, at least for now. :)
