Solace

Monday was a festive day of celebration that turned ugly.  My heart is heavy from the day's events, and the story continues to unfold.  It was a day of sickening dread as families and friends reached out to connect . . . a time to check in and make sure loved ones were safe. Sadly, for some the news was not good.

In the midst of the overwhelming news reports on Monday, the words of Elizabeth Zimmermann came to mind.  "Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises."  I've taken her advice to heart.

Seeking solace in the quiet rhythm of my needles.
