For some reason I don't understand, I haven't crocheted in over five days. No wonder my hands and fingers have been twitching. Sometimes it is easy to get so absorbed in living our lives that we forget to do the things that bring us joy, things that have no intrinsic value other than making us happy.
For some people this is singing, for others it is drawing, writing, painting, sewing, knitting - or like me - crochet. There's something about feeling the yarn and the hook in my hands and watching how the yarn becomes a hat or scarf or shawl. It feels very magical.
Life can be like this. We take the everyday happenings of life and using our skills of attention, intention, love, hope, and compassion transform them into something that can feel magical. Here I go with a new skein ready to start the transformation - let's see what it becomes!
