WEBVTT
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.359
Oh good, you're here.
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.440
Let's talk lavender.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.079
So, what project are you busy with today?
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:34.240
I am, as we speak, knitting up a swatch of uh in grey yarn and it's um it's flag stitch.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.200
I don't know if you're familiar with flag stitch.
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.880
I've never done it before, actually.
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:55.280
It's kind of geometric and textured and um it's uh repetitive and very simple, so I thought I'd try it out and see what it looks like.
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.520
Um and maybe use it for the blanket that I want to make for him.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:17.280
Um it's eight rows repeated, so that's more my style when I want to sit and watch some shows and just do something repetitive or something that doesn't take too much concentration.
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.799
Um yeah, so that's what I'm doing.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:39.120
And uh we'll see if it works out and hopefully it's a it's a good choice because I I've already bought all the yarn and he likes the colour, so yeah, my brother.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.480
Yeah, siblings.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:59.359
So uh few years ago I I knitted him a scarf, and he's kind of like a dude, he's not really the kind of person who wears scarves.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:17.919
It's a little too fussy for him, but I knitted him the scarf and his favorite color at the time, and gifted it to him, and he thanked me for it and never mentioned it again.
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:42.159
So I honestly forgot about it, and and then a few months ago, I was talking to a friend and she mentioned that she'd seen him and he was wearing a blue scarf that she thought was kind of out of character.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:03:25.360
And when she complimented him on it, he said, Oh, well, you know, this was a this was a gift from my sister, and changed the subject, and she thought it was very sweet, and I thought, hmm, we do things for people, and when we don't see immediate response or direct response, we think we may not have had a very big impact on them, but often that's just not true.
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:34.639
We just aren't witness to the appreciation of what we do for them.
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:42.080
And sometimes we hear about it after the fact or second hand.
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.280
Anyway, it was quite interesting.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:04:07.840
Oop! Just twisted a stitch here and then I thought about us crafters and knitters and stitches and how we approach the world and we see it as an imperfect place.
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:37.680
And this led me to thinking how we as creators with our hands, how we produce things for others often, knowing they're going to be imperfect, but still hopeful that they're going to be good enough, and even hopeful that they'll be better than good enough.
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:47.600
And I think we forget about the sense of hope that we have when we start a project.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:55.040
We're really hopeful it is really hopeful it's gonna turn out well, or we wouldn't continue.
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.920
We would just give up or not even start in the first place.
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.399
But we don't.
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:21.199
We envision a grand end result and and we work towards it one stitch at a time, one brush stroke at a time.
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:30.079
Such simple actions that we accumulate through repetition.
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:44.319
And that got me to thinking how we can feel our contribution is understated, muted.
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.120
It's not flashy and sparkly.
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:58.720
It's personal and simple, usually.
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.040
Even if it's a complicated sweater, in the end it's simple.
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:15.279
It's not a massive, extraordinarily loud statement to the world.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:40.879
And sometimes I think we feel overshadowed by the louder, bigger, more in your face, shinier people, and we can feel demoralized by it.
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:55.519
So settle in with your project, find your rhythm because I am going to tell you a fairy tale.
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.199
A true fairy tale.
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.199
So let's get into it.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.879
So I went to a wedding a few weeks ago.
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.519
An old friend that I've known for a long time got married.
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.240
It was a beautiful day.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:30.000
The ceremony took place in a tiny secluded little park on the top of a hill in San Francisco.
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:45.519
It was surrounded by crumbling old stone walls, and the San Francisco Bay twinkled below in the spring afternoon when the light is bright and clear.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:08:07.680
Rows of folding white chairs were set up facing two large stone pedestals, topped with huge urns stuffed with old fashioned, floppy bloomed cream and peach roses that bobbed their heavy heads in the breeze.
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.879
A beautifully postured string quartet played quietly on the one side.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.079
It was all so elegant and opulent.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:27.199
In a little gazebo I saw some old friends I haven't seen in many, many years.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:38.480
We chatted and caught up, everyone milling about, until we were summoned to be seated as the bridal party was arriving.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:47.840
Many people shrugged and asked whispered questions about the bride, curious.
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.840
Most of us knew the groom.
00:08:52.480 --> 00:09:10.080
There was quite a collection of people there for him, family and friends from all over the world gathered in this secret spot, heads lentin and asked one another Do you know the bride?
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.519
We don't really know her.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.200
I don't know much about her at all.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.320
Eyes glancing at the bride's party, small and inconspicuous.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.360
And then they arrived hand in hand.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:42.000
He looking as handsome as ever in a pale blue raw silk suit, an unexpectedly fussy arrangement in his buttonhole.
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:59.759
She, in a slim cut, sweetheart necked cream silk sheath, floor length, her hair loosely curled on her shoulders, a single rose caught in her hair.
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.519
He seemed flushed and emotional.
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.360
She looked calm and serene.
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.840
This is not how I knew him.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:21.200
God had blessed this man with brains and beauty from a young age.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:33.919
He was tall, lean, broad shouldered and athletic, with a thick shock of dark hair and piercing blue eyes.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:40.639
And of course, he had the obligatory chiseled chin and sensual smile.
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.120
Women loved him.
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.519
All women loved him.
00:10:48.480 --> 00:11:04.399
He was also very smart, got extremely well educated relatively easily, and at a young age had the means and the will to travel the world.
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:24.720
This was a man who felt at ease navigating the subway systems in Tokyo, climbing the mountains in Nepal, choosing fine wine in France, and had literally ridden a powerful motorcycle right through the continent of South America.
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.679
His digital nomad years, as he called it.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:39.279
Here he was, at just over forty years old, getting married for the very first time.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.720
To everyone that knew him's surprise.
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:58.320
He had had a string of beautiful, extraordinarily beautiful, supremely accomplished and incredible women in his life.
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.960
He called them pearls when he was quietly nostalgic.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:29.759
He treated them well, taken good care of them, worn them close to his skin, admired them, showed them off, and then put them back in a drawer where they were never seen again.
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:47.279
He seemed to be always searching, searching for new experiences, searching for truth, searching for meaning searching.
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.960
Looking to the world for answers more and more and more out there.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:06.320
Here was a man with a grocery list of accomplishments and experiences, and yet still searching.
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:24.879
And here, in front of him on this wedding day, stood a relatively ordinary young woman, not intricately adorned, and by all accounts not impressively accomplished.
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.200
Those that didn't know her wondered about her.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.320
And then the wedding ceremony began.
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.399
Everything went according to plan, unfolding beautifully.
00:13:41.200 --> 00:14:03.039
And then an old lady, I think, the groom's grandmother or great aunt, sitting in the aisle in one of the white chairs three rows from the front, and using a walking stick, put her walking stick to the side next to her and leaned on it.
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:14.720
And as she leaned, she miscalculated, and the stick gave way underneath her, and she toppled to the ground off her chair.
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:26.960
This happened in the middle of the bride's beautiful moment, the vows, the crowning glory of her big, beautiful day.
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:36.960
And as the old lady fell, everyone gasped and froze for an instant.
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.480
But not the bride.
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:50.480
And as the old lady fell, everyone gasped and froze for an instant.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.600
But not the bride.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:11.279
She dropped her hand from the groom, spun around, strode forward smoothly, and with visible compassion and gentleness lifted the old lady off the ground and placed her gently back on the chair.
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.440
She seemed fine, and everybody murmured their approval.
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:28.639
The bride rearranged her dress, stood in front of the groom, smiled, checked the old woman once more for reassurance, and continued.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:38.399
What happened next was that the atmosphere of the whole place changed.
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:48.399
It was like an awakening, a collective dawning realization.
00:15:49.919 --> 00:16:03.360
This young woman's compassion and kindness and depth of character was called for in the moment, in her arguably most visible, grandest moment.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.960
And she answered that call with a big caring heart.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:24.720
In that moment forty people who didn't know her and really weren't sure of her became her allies.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:32.879
It was her golden moment, and she chose compassion.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:41.360
And instinctively everyone there then chose her.
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:58.720
And in his vows the groom, choked with emotion, kept referring to her as his home finding his resting place.
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:05.839
Finding his home, finally, finally finding his home.
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.039
And everybody there understood.
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:19.279
She wasn't the prettiest, she wasn't the smartest, she wasn't the most of anything.
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:27.920
But she was kind and compassionate and steady and fearless.
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:48.880
And everyone knew that in the face of disaster or in the face of tragedy, this young woman would stand steadfast and hold those up around her that needed her help that needed help.
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:54.799
She would be strong when he was weak.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.240
She would support him when he was bending.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.880
And she would be his home.
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:11.119
This is a small story, but it's a true one.
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:31.200
You know in real life sometimes the best person the kindest person the strongest person the most compassionate person gets the grand prize.
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:38.160
So let me know how your project is going and share your stories.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:50.720
Because when we sit quietly, we think about life, the people we love, the things we do.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:19:05.359
When we reflect on stories like this wedding, of course, it's not necessarily true that he was the grand prize in this story.
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.920
But I think we already know that.
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.279
That much I can promise you.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.839
Okay my swatch is done.
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.039
Hmm.
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.279
I think I like it.
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.440
I think it's gonna work out.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:45.680
I think I'm gonna stick with the flag stitch and do the blanket in this design.
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:50.240
Alright, love.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:20:00.960
We'll talk again, and in the meantime, carry on and talk soon.
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.359
Oh good, you're here.
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.440
Let's talk lavender.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.079
So, what project are you busy with today?
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:34.240
I am, as we speak, knitting up a swatch of uh in grey yarn and it's um it's flag stitch.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.200
I don't know if you're familiar with flag stitch.
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.880
I've never done it before, actually.
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:55.280
It's kind of geometric and textured and um it's uh repetitive and very simple, so I thought I'd try it out and see what it looks like.
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.520
Um and maybe use it for the blanket that I want to make for him.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:17.280
Um it's eight rows repeated, so that's more my style when I want to sit and watch some shows and just do something repetitive or something that doesn't take too much concentration.
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.799
Um yeah, so that's what I'm doing.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:39.120
And uh we'll see if it works out and hopefully it's a it's a good choice because I I've already bought all the yarn and he likes the colour, so yeah, my brother.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.480
Yeah, siblings.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:59.359
So uh few years ago I I knitted him a scarf, and he's kind of like a dude, he's not really the kind of person who wears scarves.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:17.919
It's a little too fussy for him, but I knitted him the scarf and his favorite color at the time, and gifted it to him, and he thanked me for it and never mentioned it again.
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:42.159
So I honestly forgot about it, and and then a few months ago, I was talking to a friend and she mentioned that she'd seen him and he was wearing a blue scarf that she thought was kind of out of character.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:03:25.360
And when she complimented him on it, he said, Oh, well, you know, this was a this was a gift from my sister, and changed the subject, and she thought it was very sweet, and I thought, hmm, we do things for people, and when we don't see immediate response or direct response, we think we may not have had a very big impact on them, but often that's just not true.
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:34.639
We just aren't witness to the appreciation of what we do for them.
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:42.080
And sometimes we hear about it after the fact or second hand.
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.280
Anyway, it was quite interesting.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:04:07.840
Oop! Just twisted a stitch here and then I thought about us crafters and knitters and stitches and how we approach the world and we see it as an imperfect place.
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:37.680
And this led me to thinking how we as creators with our hands, how we produce things for others often, knowing they're going to be imperfect, but still hopeful that they're going to be good enough, and even hopeful that they'll be better than good enough.
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:47.600
And I think we forget about the sense of hope that we have when we start a project.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:55.040
We're really hopeful it is really hopeful it's gonna turn out well, or we wouldn't continue.
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.920
We would just give up or not even start in the first place.
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.399
But we don't.
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:21.199
We envision a grand end result and and we work towards it one stitch at a time, one brush stroke at a time.
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:30.079
Such simple actions that we accumulate through repetition.
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:44.319
And that got me to thinking how we can feel our contribution is understated, muted.
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.120
It's not flashy and sparkly.
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:58.720
It's personal and simple, usually.
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.040
Even if it's a complicated sweater, in the end it's simple.
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:15.279
It's not a massive, extraordinarily loud statement to the world.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:40.879
And sometimes I think we feel overshadowed by the louder, bigger, more in your face, shinier people, and we can feel demoralized by it.
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:55.519
So settle in with your project, find your rhythm because I am going to tell you a fairy tale.
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.199
A true fairy tale.
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.199
So let's get into it.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.879
So I went to a wedding a few weeks ago.
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.519
An old friend that I've known for a long time got married.
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.240
It was a beautiful day.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:30.000
The ceremony took place in a tiny secluded little park on the top of a hill in San Francisco.
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:45.519
It was surrounded by crumbling old stone walls, and the San Francisco Bay twinkled below in the spring afternoon when the light is bright and clear.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:08:07.680
Rows of folding white chairs were set up facing two large stone pedestals, topped with huge urns stuffed with old fashioned, floppy bloomed cream and peach roses that bobbed their heavy heads in the breeze.
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.879
A beautifully postured string quartet played quietly on the one side.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.079
It was all so elegant and opulent.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:27.199
In a little gazebo I saw some old friends I haven't seen in many, many years.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:38.480
We chatted and caught up, everyone milling about, until we were summoned to be seated as the bridal party was arriving.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:47.840
Many people shrugged and asked whispered questions about the bride, curious.
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.840
Most of us knew the groom.
00:08:52.480 --> 00:09:10.080
There was quite a collection of people there for him, family and friends from all over the world gathered in this secret spot, heads lentin and asked one another Do you know the bride?
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.519
We don't really know her.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.200
I don't know much about her at all.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.320
Eyes glancing at the bride's party, small and inconspicuous.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.360
And then they arrived hand in hand.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:42.000
He looking as handsome as ever in a pale blue raw silk suit, an unexpectedly fussy arrangement in his buttonhole.
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:59.759
She, in a slim cut, sweetheart necked cream silk sheath, floor length, her hair loosely curled on her shoulders, a single rose caught in her hair.
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.519
He seemed flushed and emotional.
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.360
She looked calm and serene.
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.840
This is not how I knew him.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:21.200
God had blessed this man with brains and beauty from a young age.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:33.919
He was tall, lean, broad shouldered and athletic, with a thick shock of dark hair and piercing blue eyes.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:40.639
And of course, he had the obligatory chiseled chin and sensual smile.
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.120
Women loved him.
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.519
All women loved him.
00:10:48.480 --> 00:11:04.399
He was also very smart, got extremely well educated relatively easily, and at a young age had the means and the will to travel the world.
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:24.720
This was a man who felt at ease navigating the subway systems in Tokyo, climbing the mountains in Nepal, choosing fine wine in France, and had literally ridden a powerful motorcycle right through the continent of South America.
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.679
His digital nomad years, as he called it.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:39.279
Here he was, at just over forty years old, getting married for the very first time.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.720
To everyone that knew him's surprise.
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:58.320
He had had a string of beautiful, extraordinarily beautiful, supremely accomplished and incredible women in his life.
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.960
He called them pearls when he was quietly nostalgic.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:29.759
He treated them well, taken good care of them, worn them close to his skin, admired them, showed them off, and then put them back in a drawer where they were never seen again.
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:47.279
He seemed to be always searching, searching for new experiences, searching for truth, searching for meaning searching.
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.960
Looking to the world for answers more and more and more out there.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:06.320
Here was a man with a grocery list of accomplishments and experiences, and yet still searching.
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:24.879
And here, in front of him on this wedding day, stood a relatively ordinary young woman, not intricately adorned, and by all accounts not impressively accomplished.
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.200
Those that didn't know her wondered about her.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.320
And then the wedding ceremony began.
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.399
Everything went according to plan, unfolding beautifully.
00:13:41.200 --> 00:14:03.039
And then an old lady, I think, the groom's grandmother or great aunt, sitting in the aisle in one of the white chairs three rows from the front, and using a walking stick, put her walking stick to the side next to her and leaned on it.
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:14.720
And as she leaned, she miscalculated, and the stick gave way underneath her, and she toppled to the ground off her chair.
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:26.960
This happened in the middle of the bride's beautiful moment, the vows, the crowning glory of her big, beautiful day.
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:36.960
And as the old lady fell, everyone gasped and froze for an instant.
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.480
But not the bride.
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:50.480
And as the old lady fell, everyone gasped and froze for an instant.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.600
But not the bride.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:11.279
She dropped her hand from the groom, spun around, strode forward smoothly, and with visible compassion and gentleness lifted the old lady off the ground and placed her gently back on the chair.
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.440
She seemed fine, and everybody murmured their approval.
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:28.639
The bride rearranged her dress, stood in front of the groom, smiled, checked the old woman once more for reassurance, and continued.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:38.399
What happened next was that the atmosphere of the whole place changed.
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:48.399
It was like an awakening, a collective dawning realization.
00:15:49.919 --> 00:16:03.360
This young woman's compassion and kindness and depth of character was called for in the moment, in her arguably most visible, grandest moment.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.960
And she answered that call with a big caring heart.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:24.720
In that moment forty people who didn't know her and really weren't sure of her became her allies.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:32.879
It was her golden moment, and she chose compassion.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:41.360
And instinctively everyone there then chose her.
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:58.720
And in his vows the groom, choked with emotion, kept referring to her as his home finding his resting place.
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:05.839
Finding his home, finally, finally finding his home.
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.039
And everybody there understood.
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:19.279
She wasn't the prettiest, she wasn't the smartest, she wasn't the most of anything.
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:27.920
But she was kind and compassionate and steady and fearless.
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:48.880
And everyone knew that in the face of disaster or in the face of tragedy, this young woman would stand steadfast and hold those up around her that needed her help that needed help.
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:54.799
She would be strong when he was weak.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.240
She would support him when he was bending.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.880
And she would be his home.
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:11.119
This is a small story, but it's a true one.
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:31.200
You know in real life sometimes the best person the kindest person the strongest person the most compassionate person gets the grand prize.
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:38.160
So let me know how your project is going and share your stories.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:50.720
Because when we sit quietly, we think about life, the people we love, the things we do.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:19:05.359
When we reflect on stories like this wedding, of course, it's not necessarily true that he was the grand prize in this story.
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.920
But I think we already know that.
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.279
That much I can promise you.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.839
Okay my swatch is done.
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.039
Hmm.
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.279
I think I like it.
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.440
I think it's gonna work out.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:45.680
I think I'm gonna stick with the flag stitch and do the blanket in this design.
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:50.240
Alright, love.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:20:00.960
We'll talk again, and in the meantime, carry on and talk soon.
