Knitting redux

I chanced upon the women*s sewing/knitting group this morning at church.  Not being on my own driving schedule, I arrived way before any appointments.  So... I had the chance to talk and realize once again how such groups can offer the space where so much more than handcrafts dwell.  It brought me back to the knitting women at my former parish, and the way they knit their way through life and death and everything in between.  It happens here as well.  Who knew?

I had no idea

There was so much more to learn.

There is so much more,

Therefore

There will be

So much more.

It simply

Stands to reason.

It even stands

Beyond anything

That passes

For reason.

I attend the women*s sewing group.

There is so much more

Than sewing

Or knitting

That happens here.

I remember the knitting women

From before.

They knit their way

Through life and death,

And everything

In between.

I had no idea

Or perhaps

I simply forgot

There is so much more to learn

Here

As well.
