“Embroidery is beautiful not only for what you see, but for all you don’t. From the back, it’s a messy map—absolute chaos… Knots upon knots… Each one a prayer, on a string.”— Robin Brown (Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir)

When my thoughts start racing with messy chaos… when I need grounding and to fall back to the present… I pull out my embroidery.
