The Kinship of Women


Any women who sews or knits, or weaves,
blends colors in a tapestry or creates
a patchwork quilt, knows by the feel
that a single thread is weak but the
weaving, the blending, the intertwining
with many others makes it strong.

Any woman alone without friends to
sustain her, to nurture and support,
to hold with loving arms, like a single
thread, is weak.  But the weaving,
the loving, the nurturing of others,
the networks of friendships makes
her strong.

The Kinship of Women 1994


Thanking the Lord for all of you today!

Hugs,

  13. So true! I just came from being with my knitting friends. It was just what I needed. They'd all "been there and done that" and knew what I needed to hear.

    Thanks for being my blog friend!
