I’ll give you a hint...this bead-embroidered piece is not a bracelet. I’ve been working off and on, stitching around each of the various stones and other components. But I’m in no rush to finish it. Rather, I’m taking my time and enjoying the process. These days I sometimes feel as if I’m moving in slow motion. There has been so much chaos in our country recently and I find it stabilizing to approach my work in a meditative way. Mindful of taking deep breaths when I start feeling tense or anxious, I find that taking my time to select just the right bead size, shape, and color helps me to relax and focus on the moment instead of worrying about the future. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (Peace in body, peace in mind, peace in spirit).
