there are quilters among us ... and we are peacemakers
several weeks ago a gathering of protesters embellished rectangles of fabric with positive messages of peace, resistance, defiance, hope, equality, inclusion, liberty
and this was created...
(yes, the sky was this blue yesterday and the grass was this green)
i dunno if ALL of the written words are positive cuz i haven't read them all
but I DO know that MOST of the people who gather on these corners every saturday morning with their signs and banners
are aware of the dangers we are facing as a nation of laws
and are shocked, appalled and angry
AND are hopeful and committed to peace
and to making sense and decency common again...
blessed are the piecemakers and the peacemakers...
just sayin'
also, release the Epstein and Homan files
Blessed are the piece/peace makers, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. What will happen to it now?
ReplyDeleteHear hear!
ReplyDeleteThe flag quilt is a good way to document these times. I agree - now we have to yell about getting both the Epstein and Homan files released!
ReplyDeleteQuilters, by their very nature, are peacemakers (in both senses of the word). That quilt is a great example of that.
