  Polly just loves to sew. Whether they’re big things or small things, stuffed or flat, patterned or plain, she is never happier than when she is surrounded by threads and materials in a rainbow of colours, textures and designs and the two things she has endless amounts of, which are imagination and love. These she stitches into every one of her

  The following story is taken from St. Matthew 14:22-33.  
  "The Miracle of the Storm: Jesus Walks on Water" 
  In the ancient land of Galilee, nestled amidst the rolling hills and shimmering waters, there lived a community of fishermen whose lives were intertwined with the ebb and flow of the sea. Among them was Simon Peter, a seasoned fisherman whose faith would be tested in ways he could scarcely imagine. 
  One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the sky turned shades of crimson and gold, Jesus, the beloved teacher and healer, instructed his disciples to embark on a journey across the Sea of Galilee. "Go ahead of me to the other side," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "I will join you later." 
  Eager to fulfill their Master's command, the disciples set sail in their fishing boat, their hearts buoyed by the promise of his presence. But as they journeyed across the dark expanse of the sea, a sudden storm arose, its fierce winds and crashing waves threatening to capsize their fragile vessel.

  For Annie's tenth birthday, her papa gives her a pad of paper, some colored pencils, and the Klimas family secret. 
   
  It’s called the nuodeema burna, or eater of sins. Every time Annie does something wrong, she writes it down and sticks the paper in a hidden hole in the floor of their house. But Annie is quick to discover that her inheritance has a dark side.  
   
  With each paper fed to the burna, Annie feels less guilty about the mean things she says and does, but weird things start happening: she stops growing, and soon rats seem to be everywhere, even in her dreams. Annie confronts the secret of  
  the burna, but nothing can prepare her for the truth she unearths.  
   
  Pete Hautman masterfully spins a modern-day fairy tale that explores the emotional and moral responsibility that’s part of growing up.

  From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke' s parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own.  Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah' s ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.
