Story Cloak | David

"We were able to grieve the pain together and see one another in a new light. We sifted through some layers that had prevented us from seeing one another clearly."

— David

One Christmas, Emily gifted me with a robe adorned with eyes, the symbol that I have adopted for myself. On the back, it also had her interpretation of my family lineage and included elements of fabric from her family and mine. When she gave it to me, she did a verbal invocation that was a prayer for the healing of my masculine lineage that I/We may be freed from the wounds that have kept us shackled in suffering of all kinds. My mother was present for this and it created an opening for a long overdue conversation that was historically difficult and ended in more family drama, rather than healing and understanding. As I adorned my new robe of healing, my mother and I were able to sit together and share painful stories of our childhoods with one another. This time, the normal charge was transmuted through our heart and a new awareness of one another took hold. We were able to grieve the pain together and see one another in a new light. We sifted through some layers that had prevented us from seeing one another clearly. I am grateful to my wife for creating magical clothing with intention for healing and deeper understanding of where I have come from and where I am going. I have long benefited from her creativity and vision. In fact, most of the jackets that I wear were created by her. I always had a taste for “edgy” clothing and revel in the shock value that they sometimes bring. With that said, never in my life do I get stopped or complimented as much as I do when I wear a Threads of Infinity garment.”

This cloak was created using locally milled organic cotton fleece. The eyes were constructed from an old tie that belonged to David’s father, along with other fabrics that had been used for his wife’s dresses and some antique lace from her grandmother. The button is glass.
