And Words are Futile Devices

I keep listening to this music that makes me long for something that I can't seem to identify. From my bedroom two nights ago, I listened to it play in the living room downstairs and even that muffle was almost too much. My heart ached and yearned and the only thing I could think of to do that would help quiet it was to knit.

And so I knit.

"We need sensuality, and we can get it from attentiveness to the world." Elizabeth Seward was quoted saying that in Zen and the Art of Knitting, a good book to read if you like to knit or if you wonder how in the world knitting could ease my longing. Melissa lent it to me.

I still don't quite know why I feel that way when I listen to those songs, or why knitting helps me feel a little saner. But thank you Mr. Stevens for writing amazing music. Thank you Ms. Seward for your precious words. Thank you Mrs. Sartin for helping me stitch.
