This is a beautiful share. I so agree with Renate about everything she shares and I couldn’t explain it better, so I highly suggest listening to her exquisite expression on how “handwork” is the cosmic weaving of creation itself. It is probably this very reason why I have such a personal deterrence from doing anything but traditional forms of art utilizing my hands, brushes, fingers and pigments as my tools rather than graphic art. And why other forms of arts and crafts, as well as healing arts that utilize my hands are my preferred loves. There is just something in the ancient ways that derives a bridge of Earth and Cosmos through the labor of love that is manifested through our own two hands and the relationship of mind and heart through them. As Renate shares, the children are most drawn to these forms of crafts with the hands and doesn’t that speak to the heart of things?…..the inner child knows the way to healing the world. Thank you Laura for sharing this. <3
