Leaving my brain to wander
Double crochet
Chain, skip one
Double crochet again
Analyze from every angle
Intricate details I ponder
Double crochet
Chain, skip one
Double crochet again
Solutions swim around my head
Shape, reshape, shape shift some more
Double crochet
Chain, skip one
Double crochet again
Tears may fall or laughter bubble
Emotions free to dive and soar
Double crochet
Chain, skip one
Double crochet again
Soon Peace slips in with tiptoe stealth
My shoulders and eyelids drooped
Double crochet
Chain, skip one
Double crochet again
Muscles relax and breathing slows
Body and spirit regrouped
Double crochet
Chain, skip one
Double crochet and turn.

Over the last year, I've had a lot of crochet therapy. The first was just for me.
These were for the friends who most know my heart.
And my latest project...
Someday I'll write about the part of my healing each represents. =]

Beautiful poem. Beautiful crochet projects.
Who taught you to crochet?
My momma! One spring break home from harding I asked her to teach me. We forgot until I was about to leave, so she sat down and taught me the basics in about 20 min. I made my first ripple afghan sitting desk in the dorm. It wasn't until years later though that I actually learned to read a pattern. I bought several books with explanations and pictures until I got the right combination. I still remember when the light bulb went on and I could "read" this new language.
Love it!
