Tapestry
Tapestry is hand woven practical art created for centuries on every continent. Placed on castle walls in winter for insulation and decoration. In the Middle Ages tapestry emerged as coats of arms and symbolic weavings. Persian and Navajo rugs are a form of utilitarian tapestry which are greatly prized.
Every day, every year, every decade we are weaving the tapestry of our lives. Richly resplendent, deeply muted threads interwoven throughout depth and breadth of the human experience create unique individual and collective patterns.
“The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.” ~Carson McCullers
“Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.” Richard P. Feynman
The tapestry of life is like a personal metaphor. It is both a conscious and unconscious weaving.
“My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view.” ~Carole King
“We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone…and whatever happens is the of the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weaving of individual form one to another that creates something.” ~Sandra Day O’Conner
What kind of life tapestry are you weaving?
Blessings!
