No, that is not a secret code or a license plate number or a password: it is the key to a little piece of heaven! The Kanuga Knitting and Quilting Conference for 2013 was held a little over a week ago, and I have yet to come down from the mountain. There is just something (here and here)about that place...
With my daughter as Chaplain (and wonderful homilies based on the 23rd Psalm,) an energetic coordinator, talented teachers, and old and new friends, about 80 of us spent some kairos time in the mountains, doing things we love: knitting, quilting, laughing, eating dry toast, learning, worshiping, hiking, watching Downton Abby (on one of the few TVs), and mostly just being.
Mother Nature offered us the stark linear lines of winter, which were contrasted by the panoply of dancing colors in the knitting and quilting projects.
By our final worship service, we had the beginning of the Great Wall of Textiles (more were added after this photo was taken.) Our projects and time together were blessed.
We even had some multi-talented participants who came together with a variety of musical instruments, weaving them into beautiful harmonies.
There's no place like home.
Like going to Narnia...
