I love that a pale pink thread was pulled out on the day "fierce" was stitched. A sweet edge to the bite of that word.
I'm not giving lots of thought to these words. Whatever comes to mind as I pick up the needle. Moon had just asked how to spell "fiercely". I am trying to not put negative words on this cloth, so that when I pick it up years from now, it won't prick difficult memories. Just a jumble of good words.
So, I looked up fierce today. "menacingly wild, savage, or hostile,violent in force, intensity, etc." All such gloomy scary words. Really? I love my children fiercely. I want justice fiercely, and will fight fiercely for it, if I can.
Finally, at the bottom of the definition, there was "passionate", thank goodness.
