Whirled Peace
The 'Diva' does it again!
Challenge #40 is for International Day of Peace. TODAY. September 21st.
She passed along information about Pinwheels for Peace.
What a wonderful idea!
All over the world there are places putting out pinwheels
to remember our hope for peace.
and the most creative motto - whirled peace
while my ZIA is not complete,
I just had to get it posted in time for International Day of Peace.
It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to
coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day
was celebrated in September 1982. In 2002 the General Assembly officially declared September 21 as the permanent date for the International Day of Peace. By creating the International Day of Peace, the UN devoted itself to
worldwide peace and encouraged all of mankind to work in cooperation
for this goal.

Simple message
My heart aches on this day.
God bless the families whose hearts were broken on this day
ten years ago.

Challenge 38
A simple challenge this week . . . one tangle, Paradox.
This was such meditation to create. Working from the center out, blocking in squares and triangles and then completing each space with the tangle Paradox.
My next step will be to add some color - still debating what medium to use.
For my birthday this year, my sister gave me the most interesting book - "Contemplative Crochet: A Hands-On Guide for Interlocking Faith & Craft" by Cindy Crandall-Frazier. Why do I mention this? Because much of what she says in regards to crochet applies to this craft of tangles. The title "The Power of Limits: Having More within a Structure of Less" is right on target for this challenge. We were given a limit, but then I found so much more within that structure! In her book, Cindy says,"As I practice, I learn to accept my shortcomings, fix my mistakes, and see my projects to completion. I learn patience and management. And because I have seen how one stitch(stroke) at a time can make a blanket (ZIA), I am not a stranger to the idea of taking one step at a time when faced with solving a life problem or just making it through a rough day."
This zendala was great reflection on patience and taking it step at a time. Enjoy the moment!

Thanks to some folks at "Create-in-Me" workshop, I finally understood this pattern.
"One stroke at a time" ® is so true.
