While our country rages and frays, most of us are wondering what we can do at a time like this. To calm and focus myself, I make art and sew. But at a time like this I also pray for peace.

I invite you this week to find refuge in this practice – making art or sewing something creative as an act of prayer – for healing in our country and the world.

I invite you to make a small piece of art that is literally a meditation and prayer for peace. With every stitch, every brushstroke, let it be a prayer for healing and illumination for these troubled times.

Please email a clear photo of your prayer to me on Sunday and I will share them on my photo page<\/a> next week. Send them to luana@equilter.com<\/a> and I will send a poem about peace back to you.

The Peace of Wild Things – by Wendell Berry

When despair grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
