The Journey

Written by Philippa Reiss Thorne on Wednesday, 06 October 2010.

Gone Rural Poem

The Journey

Starts on a mountain,

growing wild,

harvested annually,

enriched with colour,

placed in the hands of rural women,

Woven with love,

In a form of meditation…….


Beauty emerges.

Embracing the tradition,

Reverently handled & spiritually packaged

In service to the makers


Sent out to the world. 

Anticipated by caretakers

Joyfully opened

Beautifully presented

It breathes the language of the soul

In silent inspiration

Captivating humanity

Illuminating your home
