Ramya visited Honnavar with her family and touched with Hanmi ajji's simplicity and her all time weaving spirit ..For Hanmi ajji weaving is like a meditation ..over and again... !!!
Craft..
She weaves together these strands of paddy
She weaves together these blades of grass
She weaves her hopes and dreams together
As today seamlessly into tomorrow does pass
Oblivious to all she just weaves on
With concentrated precision and dedication
With single-minded focus she makes each move
Creating her art with love and conviction
It looks like she does not need to rest
It looks like this itself is her rest
She appears to gain and spend energy
As she gives her work her very best
This is her art and her identity
It is her work and her play
She is steeped in it, immersed it in
As she gives to it, her all today
This is craft, this giving of all
This is craft, this act of creation
This is craft, using material as medium
To the sense the souls urge and give it vision.
