hands working

this little film inspires me
every time i view it.
and i am reminded of the simplicity of making thread
yarn
string
and how that thing
 string yarn thread
holds us together
sinew cloth clothing protection
shroud
fiber.
my mother's maiden name was weaver.
it's a protection i hold close.
i learned to stitch with used unraveled hem thread
on kleenex.
