Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I bought some material and baskets last week, thinking I'd make a "pet bed" for each of my little grandsons' sleep buddies.  One has a Jellycat kitty and the other a Snoopy.  I'll make a pad in the basket and a pillow for the beloved stuffies.  And I bought some train material, perhaps for pillows, and a big swath of fleecy fabric for a blanket for the one like I've already made for the other.  Then there is the Clifford the Dog material, cat material and flannel construction trucks fabric.  I couldn't resist, and they are both young enough to enjoy the things I make.  And the act of making them, well, that is a Zen experience of sewing with love in my heart and mindfulness in every stitch.  Not as taxing as the Rakasu I made for my vows, but coming out of the same intention to pay attention and be careful.  Cuddles for my cuties!
