Needle

Needles, Needle and thread, Sewing needle

A needle is small but exacting: it only works if you aim it carefully and keep a steady hand. Dreams lean on it when a task needs precision, patience or a fix that can't be rushed. Sewing with needle and thread is about mending, joining two things or making something last longer. A pinprick can stand for a slight hurt, perhaps a sharp comment you're still thinking about. Hunting for a lost needle describes a search that seems endless, though the right tool, like a magnet, can change everything.
