On weaving and life

I found this in an old cookbook from the Three Rivers Weavers Guild, it is written by K. Alexander from Viroqua:

"The Creator weaves life in myriads of patterns - of worlds and stars and galaxies: of earth and air, fire and water: of people, families, cities and nations; of flowers and birds, kittens and puppies, life and death and love and sorrow.
I weave beauty with fibers of cotton and wool, linen and rayon, colors and textures in intricate design. I weave lullabies and legends into the hearts of my children, dreams and visions into their minds. I weave chicken pot pies and chocolate chip cookies, nourishment for my family; and the cords of love and mutual sharing twine around us and bind us into a unified design.
The weaving is a gift and a process, always changing, always new. One pattern is finished and a new one begins. We do not sorrow that the weaving is done for a new pattern always lies waiting. We look at what is finished and see that it is good, it is complete, and it is time to start anew. What was woven is woven, and what lies ahead beckons. And we weave our lives on the Loom of Life while the song of the weaver of the universe flows through us and all the patterns come together in one vast harmony."

I find this particularly appropriate as we end the old Mayan calendar (on Oct. 28) and begin a new cycle. Let's weave our world with love.
