I flew to Santa Fe to participate in a Medicine For The Earth shamanic gathering. The participants were asked to bring a gift for one of the participants. I chose to crochet red chili peppers to adorn someone's drum. Since I did not know who's drum would be enhanced, I decided that I could finish the part that went around the drum, once I found out who would be receiving my gift.
One of the participants was crocheting a bag. She and I discussed how she could make it a round bag. As she crocheted her bag, one of the men in our group asked her to teach him how to crochet.
I noticed that he was having difficulty. I gave him one of my larger hooks, explaining that it would be easier, with the large yarn that he was using.
Near the end of out time together, we put our names into a drum. As the drum was passed around the circle of participants, each participant pulled out the name of the person who would receive his or her gift. I picked Vann's name. When I asked him which drum he wanted the chili to adorn, he said that since he had just learned how to crochet and since I had given him a crochet hook, that he would finish the task of adorning the drum, himself. I gave him the green yarn and he went happily on his way.
Yes, synchronicity is grand.
