Knitting as a meditation

I have loved knitting this pretty, pink tunic for a baby girl, yet to be born. This small project reminds me that life goes on, that new life awaits and there is hope and a future and purpose.

As I have knitted for a new life, I have thought of my late brother. While I have formed each knot in the tunic pattern I have sought possibilities of who to contact to form a net of support around his two young sons who live so far away from me.
