Publisher's Synopsis
Threading the Path is a group of poems, bracketed and interspersed with simple quilt motifs that came to mind during meditation. Quilting, the process of gathering random scraps of fabric, joining them into a harmonious whole, then melding layers together with a superimposed design, is an analogy for healing--the reclamation of broken aspects of ourselves into a reclaimed whole, with each stitch representing a prayer. It is a tour through those universal experiences where we carry the burden of life's wounds:
- Disillusionment, when our world is not as you hoped it would be
- Disappointment, when something we counted on does not work out as you expected
- Depression, when loss seems too much to bear
- Anxiety, when fearful thoughts overwhelm you
- Despair, when powerlessness leads you to believe that there is no hope
Poetry flowing to wipe the tears.
