While the coffee brews, I pick up my spindle with the delightful pink wool and I spin to the music of gurgles and drips. I don’t know why I do this. I am enthralled by the swirl of color and fluff, sparkle and texture, flowing through my hands. I grin at twirling a yo-yo-like wooden toy and at the feel of twist growing up into the fibers, strengthening as it goes, until my left hand registers the “full” feeling.
As I wind the yarn onto the shaft, I marvel at the various colors and textures of fibers I had previously blended into rolags. It’s a symphony of individual parts coming together into a lovely whole, eventually useful, yet in and of itself it is a thing of beauty.
I receive this thought as encouragement for my life which is also filled with many varied and seemingly incongruous bits. As I spin, I take to heart that it is all twisting into a beautiful whole…strong and useful.

What a lovely thing to say! Thank you Nancy! I hope you have a beautiful day!
I’m enthralled with your spinning and think your yarns are lovely. And I agree, life is what we spin it, and sometimes it spins out of control. It’s only in hindsight that we see the lovely fabric that’s been created. Thanks for sharing.
I love your take on spinning and life! And I appreciate your words! Have a beautiful day Nancy!
