I am a new weaver, and this is what I have been learning about weaving and about life.
When a person begins a weaving project, they measure and then tie up the warp, the threads which go from the back to the front of the loom where the weaving will take place.
Then, they weave across the warp, to create the weft, over and under each thread, or a combination of threads, to create the patterns.
Think of your life as the warp.
What you and others contribute to your life creates the weft, the patterns.
As different things happen to you, the pattern changes.
Sometimes a lot of confusing things happen and the pattern gets really messy and unattractive.
If it gets too tangled, you can’t even see a pattern anymore.
In weaving, you can stop and cut the whole thing off or you can take the time to laboriously unweave the messy parts.
In life, when it gets so convoluted, you can also stop.
You can cut off the negative thoughts and reactions to messy experiences.
You can restate what you want to happen and how you want to feel.
You can shine some light on it, both from without (people who support you) and from within, from your own deep peace.
You can change what you see by changing what you feel.
You can redirect your thoughts until it becomes a habit to think the way you want to.
You will love what happens to your life pattern next!
And you can keep on creating beautiful patterns for your life.
