The rhythmic click-clack of the knitting needles filled the quiet room. Grandma Elsie sat by the window, a vibrant skein of yarn in her lap, the afternoon light illuminating the intricate pattern she was creating. Her grandson, Ben, had just declared his intention to become a Hare Krishna devotee. Elsie's needles continued their dance, creating a tangible feeling of gentle continuity.

She admired her grandson's seriousness, his devotion. He was making his own choices. She imagined a warm embrace when she saw him next. The world was meant to open up. She smiled, feeling a sense of quiet fulfillment.
