magical carpet

this was inspired by hearing

of a child who

dressed up as a

magic carpet for halloween.

i heard this while knitting/being/chatting

with lovely women at a retreat.

ohhhh, the magic of needles clicking

& imaginations traveling.

they must climb toward the light?

and then greet the air

with so many flowers and colors?"
