Hope and Patience

I feel that we've been waiting for today for a long time. I greet this day with hope, as many do. But, while I feel that President Obama is the right person for this time, I also know that there is hard work ahead. Not just for him, but for all of us. Change is often hard and takes time. Fixing what's broken will be difficult.

We as weavers and spinners are fortunate. Through our crafts we know patience We've puzzled out a threading error or put in countless hours spinning spider-web thin yarn. We've worked out our tangles and twists; we've found calm in the storm. There is power, control, in creating with your own hands, of forming something unique and personal. More than ever, I find comfort in my craft and hope you do as well.
