Hands understand thresholds long before the mind names them. While organizing my stitching supplies, I was revisited by a few of my old works in progress. They reminded me that they are there ... asked when I might be bringing them out of the box and into the light of day ... they reminded me of moments of uncertainty during which they were started and as I held them, not only did I remember the uncertainties I wrestled with at that time, but also of some of the threads that still need tending to. Finishing those projects, therefore, has been on my mind these days. The importance of completing them so that the current transformations can unfold free of untended threads from the past threshold experiences calls my attention loudly these days.
What about your works in progress?
Do you have a project you began during a time of uncertainty or change? How did the act of stitching, knitting, felting, etc., help you cross that inner threshold? Is the project calling you to finish it? If you were to intentionally begin a piece for the place you stand now, what intention or a spell of enchantment would you quietly weave into it?
