The Thread Project

I can’t remember on whose blog I found this, but it’s got me thinking. The home page says:

“Become part of this amazing cloth. Join thousands of people from around the world by sending a piece of ribbon, hemp, string, or other fiber to The Thread Project: One World, One Cloth. The individual threads are being tied together and woven into seven world cloths–the first of which is called “Hope Materializing.” These cloths celebrate the boldness of our cultural diversity and the unity of our human hearts. Resembling large wall tapestries, these cloths will hang in nations throughout the world, reminding people that we are, ultimately, a global family of one.”

I’m usually fairly cynical about this sort of initiative, but this one sounds exciting. The stories with them are both moving and mundane – and it’s often in the mundane that I find most to marvel in.
