I would do it all over again:
Be the harbor and set the sail,
Loose the breeze and harness the gale,
Cherish the harvest of what I have been.
Better the summit to scale.
Better the summit to be.

"Gill’s embroideries are mesmeric explosions of colour, free flowing pattern and seemingly infinite threads. They present a self-taught and unrestrained stitching technique which uses a repetitive method, layering the threads over and over." 🧵
