the hours away, slowly in the late afternoon.
Do you agree?
Even when you are tired........or things may be heavy
on your mind ........or heart.......
the stitches of colorful floss and the time
you have to say a prayer or sort out
the day's stress, while you stitch,
come through in such a beautiful way.
Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare,
And left the flushed print in a poppy there:
Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came,
And the fanning wind puffed it to flapping flame...
Francis Thompson
Wishing you comfort and peacefulness
as you stitch the day away.
I always love seeing your beautiful handwork!
ReplyDeleteYour handwork is beautiful. I can feel the peace embued in each stitch. I love stitching, too, once the chores of the day are done. After stitching, I can't even say what my thoughts were, but they were good ones, fleeting, light and sweet!
