I took a break from wool cutting and sweater detailing last week and during my walkies to clear my head, I came across another treasure in the hood'. A convent! This pretty garden was a-blossom with lovely flowers and a cool spot to relax and reflect. As a lapsed Catholic I find this discovery comforting. If things become just too much I can just knock on the convent door and join up... can't I? Naw, they probably would be afraid to open the door after taking a look at me. But the energy there is very calming and female. And when I have reason to pray, I usually recite my Hail Mary before the Lords Prayer cuz I just relate to Mary more. I am sure that God understands as I have explained myself on many occasions. We are good... he is cool with me that way. So I picked some blossoms and lay them at her feet and gave my thanks. Yep, we are good... and then I went back to work, cutting and creating. What a gift!
