Learn to sense

a line of small, humble stitches

as sacred artifacts

inner beings making meandering silent journeys

across the landscape of fabric

subtle imprints made

from soft bodies holding sharp needles

embracing the ancestral connections

that are asking to be remembered

feeling into the lineage of slow presence

fingertips flickering

light traveling through thin threads

connecting with the deep cellular history of cloth

and all of the memories it holds

we are the keepers

of this ancient wisdom of touch

Our hands remember

Let them remember....
