Fingertips Flicker

by Emma Freeman

Learn to sense

a line of small, humble stitches

as sacred artifacts

Inner beings meander on silent journeys

across the landscape of fabric

as subtle imprints are made

from soft bodies holding sharp needles

Embrace the ancestral connections

that are asking to be remembered

through the lineage of slow presence

Fingertips flicker

as light travels through thin threads

restoring connections

to the deep cellular history of cloth

and all of the silent memories it holds

You are the keepers

of this ancient wisdom of touch

your hands remember

let them remember.
