“Why are you rushing?” I ask myself…
“Why are you rushing through life?…
Where exactly do you think you’re going?
Where are you headed that you feel the need to constantly rush, forge ahead?
Why are you wishing away THIS PRECIOUS, sacred moment for some unreachable future reward, that, the moment it comes is quickly forgotten as you move ever onward toward the next goal?
What are you rushing toward?
When will you realize your life is now?
What will it take for you to revel in each blessed moment?
The highs, the lows. The joy and the pain. Times of peace and periods of challenge.
Each experience is a thread in the beautiful tapestry that is Your Life.
Why not enjoy it?”
Hi, Chandi!
Sometimes I think that time is rushing through ME rather than the other way around. My safest places are the big, outdoor, quiet ones where I can think about what’s going on, if I want to. But, more importantly, where I can remind myself that I’m just part of the whole vastness that IS. And that’s a reminder I need more often than not.
I had a feeling that something was out of synch when I looked at your video for this week’s pattern. Not sure what it was, that something, but it was there. Given the energy you’ve been expending and expend on a daily basis, I’m just wondering if you need some walking along your favorite beach/in your favorite woods/to your favorite cave time. Even though it’s November now and the trees have pretty much put away their summerclothes and are bedding down for the Grand Silence of winter, Ii still find that I need to make sure that ‘my’ woods are still there and resting well. I bet you have one or twenty of thos places as well.

Your note beneath Emerge overcame my pretty shy nature. I hope you continue to feel better and more certain of yourself and your path (which, by the bye, IS the real destination, has been all along. Ralph W (who would name ANYONE Waldo? Really!) Emerson saw things fairly clearly,.

I’m rather fond of his “Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.” myself.
Just sayin’
Hugs you and waves!
No need to rush you may get things wrong time is the essence my dad always said relax don’t be tempted to rush time goes at the same time and know in this scary time take it in and be safe happy and be one in yourself
i am continually rushing. I can barely stand in line at the grocery store, only to find someone is…holding up the line to write a check. I mean who still does that? I know this has nothing to do with knitting. But I am reminded that when I was looking after my Dad; we were in and out of the VA so I had to sit in the waiting area, I needed something to do, so I started knitting and crocheting, My Dad taught me to Crochet; I’m not good at it. I’m trying though…and I find it very relaxing and soothing. I took up knitting in my late twenties when I was in College. I’m still working on this craft. I love it! Now I’m going to try your Sonder shawl (I especially love your story behind it. This will be a challenge for me as I will learn to change yarns, etc. Plus I’m going to have to remember when I have to YO. I thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. God Bless!!
I love this pattern.
Where can I get the written pattern
