I make...


Each stitch is a story
Every thread is a truth
How do we wear our promises
Like life, from the roots.

The tools we may choose
A design may grow
What may be revealed
From this small seed sown?

I make - to use my hands
I make - to feel alive
I make - because I can not
Leave it undone

What I may learn from doing
Or how this might change my thinking
I'll only know when I'm finished
Sending a small square to journey.

This poem is the start of my story for The Art of Fiction: women's writing and the decorative arts.

    Love these lines:

    1. What a great remix. The loops are a replication of thinking, doing, sharing. As we know from our work in clmooc, remix is very much part of sensemaking. In my recent paper you will see a diagram that looks like your loops. Really what we were doing was app smashing or remixing in a collaboration to make sense of a bunch of things.
