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.
