“The old threads are unraveling,
Get your needles ready.
We are stitching a new quiltof Humanity.Bring your old t-shirts,worn out jeans, scarves,antique gowns, aprons,old pockets of plentywho have held Earth’s treasures,stones, feathers, leaves,love notes on paper.Each stitchA mindful meditation.Each piece of materialA story.The more colour the better,so call in the Tribes.Threads of browns, whites,reds, orangesWomen from all nationsstart stitching.Let’s recycle the hate, the abuse,the fear, the judgment.Turn it over, wash it clean,ring it out to dry.It’s a revolutionof recycled wears.Threads of greens, blues, purplesColourful threadsof peace, kindness,respect, compassionare being stitchedfrom one continent to the nextover forests, oceans, mountains.The work is hardYour fingers may bleed.But each cloth stitched togetherBrings together a community.A world, our future worldUnder one colourful quilt.The new quilt of humanity.”-Julia Myers
