With amazing grace, Peace Fibres gently offers an opportunity to come to our senses, call back our spirits, and stitch a more soulful world. Its stories and activities provide a path to deepening awareness and expression of self, enfolded in a larger context of interdependence. Easily accessible even to those who have never picked up a needle, Peace Fibres stimulates appreciation and awe for the wisdom and beauty woven through the ages with fibres. - Back cover. Peace Fibres is a book to be lived, not just read. Its intention is to stimulate awareness, awe, appreciation, and action. It lends itself readily to individual or group experience. The twelve chapters offer a full year of growth in self-awareness, while exploring the multidimensional world of fibre creations across the globe. Some readers will jump into the projects; others will be eager to discuss the ideas in "Threads for thought." Resources connect the reader to organizations that are already valuing fibre work as an important aspect of community. The activities in each chapter are aimed at integrating mind, body, and spirit; it is my hope that they will encourage the development of a daily practice, which is so vital to personal peace. The personal is the political : peace cannot be had in the larger world unless and until peace occurs withing individuals. Peace Fibres offers an organic, basic path toward that peace. If you, like so many, are frustrated by the current political landscape, economic inequalities, and unending personal, and political violence across the globe, this book offers avenues to contribute to positive change. Like a pebble in a pond, ripples of peace radiate expansively, impacting the entire pond. - Dust jacket.… (more)
