Just read an awesome blurb from author Anne Lamott - (if you have not read any of her books - please do!)
It jumped out because as we move into the season of Lent quiet and stillness are on the forefront. For me personally though..... quiet and stillness are a necessity. My air. My water. My food.

I love the idea of painting a picture with thread. Counting those little "X's" takes quiet concentration. Seeing the shape unfold.
Quiet.
Concentration.

I agree - it is a soul soothing process that I enjoy too.
