Best of all, knitting is slow. So slow that we see the beauty - TopicsExpress



          

Best of all, knitting is slow. So slow that we see the beauty inherent in every tiny act that makes up a sweater. So slow that we know the projects not going to get finished today-it may not get finished for many months or longer-and thus, we make our peace with the unresolved nature of life. We slow down as we knit. Our breathing and our heart rate drop and knitters whove been at it a while experience a trancelike state that provides the same benefits of other forms of meditation. From Zen and the Art of Knitting, Exploring The Links Between Knitting, Spirituality and Creativity by Bernadette Murphy. YES! I think thats what part of the attraction to knitting has been for me...an opportunity to slow down! Too much of my life was a whirlwind.
