now

 

starting a new piece

the memory of how we felt

the conventional rushes in

my truest self

 

I found embroidery was like a prayer.  It brought me in touch with my spiritual self, my truest self, and connected me to a power beyond.    Ranjith Raman

love, love, love
it was the core of my life,
from which, of course,
comes the word for the heart.
