Tapestry

“We spend our lives weaving a tapestry of sorts. The largest ribbons of color are our family and closest friends. But a tapestry made up of just these people has gaps. The other people we weave into our lives – some only as thin threads – are what give our life its texture and its strength. They fill the gaps in the most amazing ways. Their colors reflect on the ribbons and on us. Weaving them into our tapestry creates for each of us a magnificent, dense and interesting life.

And when life takes a wrong turn, that tapestry becomes a blanket that we can wrap around us or a safety net into which we can fall.” (Elizabeth Edwards – Ladies Home Journal, November 2007)

Carole King wrote and sang a song called 'Tapestry' in the '70's which I have always loved and in conjunction with the above quote, it makes it clear that my own tapestry consists of so many threads. She says her life is a tapestry of rich and royal hue and I think ours are the same. Your colors are woven into my tapestry and make it bright and beautiful. I'm hoping my colors do the same for yours.
