She walks close to the moon, the song of the hawk guiding her. She is filling her basket with flowers. She is pregnant with possibility. But she has known loss. She has known despair. She has known pain. She is the one who is hurting and still says to life, as poet Ellen Bass writes in The Thing Is, “Then you hold life like a face/between your palms, a plain face/no charming smile, no violet eyes/and you say, yes, I will take you/I will love you, again.” I have long loved that poem—for decades and the determination and willingness of the heart, though broken, that is willing to love again. This is a tapestry of such resilient love. You will find those words of the poem on the back of the tapestry, a gentle and encouraging reminder of your own resilience and strength, of how we can find beauty in ashes.
