Bless all those who knit
who sit and click the needles,
bringing the threads together,
into a new creation.
Bless all those who unpick
the holey ideas of yesterday
that no longer serve us well,
unravelling prejudice.
Bless all those who then re-knit
the residue of the past with
the dreams of today into
a new garment of hope.
May we be knitters and un-pickers,
determined and dreamers,
fools, lovers and conspirators
in this glorious insurrection.
