Quilt by Helen Sherrod-circa 1950s
By Harriet Freiberger Needles, thread, and human hands, but there is more - something that defines a need to understand a lifetime that we come to know as who and what we are. Thrown headfirst into the whirlwind of our senses, we reach for soothing quiet and calm, a pattern that will satisfy bold cravings as our bodies grow into a thriving wholeness, definitive in the passage of becoming. We reach for touch and feel - and find a teasing taste - amazing possibility of becoming. Then, as growth empowers more connections, explore to see a pattern form complexity emerging - stitches bound within a border defining there a hoped-for clarifying moment’s stillness: and it is done.
