Zen is crochet to me!

I have signed up for the "Z to A blog challenge" on writewrongorindifferent.com. It has to start today. ow I have the dilemma...What to write some thing stating with Z? I am not that fond of Zebras, even though I would love to visit the zoo.

;I thought I will write about Zen. So let me see, what I think of Zen. I am not that sure it is Chinese or Japanese...But, I know it is about meditation and having the blisful state of being in the present. There are many websites about Zen. To me my Zen is crochet. It is kind of meditation to me. I do crochet for the sake of doing crochet. The patterns and colors are like soothing music.

When I get my yarn and hook and the pattern ready o go, time stops there. The never ending chattering of the mind stops. It is just the hook creating stitches and the long yarn becomes something of a different shape. It is the magic og creating with hands. It can be a flower, it can be a scarf or a cap...but it is a creation.

When it is finished, the mind is satisfied, the body is happy.

Now I am glad that I started doing the challenge. Off to the Zen of Crochet....
