If Life is a Tapestry … part I

Today we explore the final point:

• The finished product, the completed design, is visible only in the imagination of the creator until the last stitch is sewn

It is never too late to course correct, shift, decide we don’t like the direction our life is headed and choose differently.

If you woke up this morning, then you have another opportunity to begin again. Today really is the first day of the rest of your life. Now really is the moment of choice. The choices you make now impact what lies ahead. Give yourself the gift of stepping back from your life tapestry to discern:

What has reached a dead end?
What needs some fresh energy?
What would forgiveness offer?
What needs my love?

Then, make a commitment. Take the next step. Let the tapestry of your life speak your current truth! Tomorrow? Begin yet again.

Today, let’s explore two points:

• While sewing, the creator is mired in the details, the color and shape of the next stitch
• While sewing, the creator also steps back from the work periodically to view it from a distance and take in the whole, then making adjustments or perhaps even redoing a section if needed

Where are you in the thick of things, mired in details?
What is the bigger picture you are working toward?
What have you forgotten?
What value would there be in stepping back for a wider view?

Today’s point is this:

• There is a “front” side and a “back” side which are usually very different in appearance

Every one of us has a front and a back side – a view we intend for public consumption and the work we do in the background of our lives. My main question for you is this:

Is your life tapestry reversible?

Are you willing to let all of you be seen?
What do you hide on the back side?
What would be easier if there was nothing to hide?

Today’s point is this:

• The design may be repetitive or not, colorful or not, intricate and tiny or big and bold, real or abstract

What is your vision, the design, for this life you lead?
In what ways has it become repetitive?
What bold and vibrant action is needed?

What does that really mean? Let’s explore qualities of a tapestry:

• There is a pattern, a design, that a creator is following
• The design may be repetitive or not, colorful or not, intricate and tiny or big and bold, real or abstract
• There is a “front” side and a “back” side which are usually very different in appearance
• While sewing, the creator is mired in the details, the color and shape of the next stitch
• While sewing, the creator also steps back from the work periodically to view it from a distance and take in the whole, then making adjustments or perhaps even redoing a section if needed
• The finished product, the completed design, is visible only in the imagination of the creator until the last stitch is sewn

Let’s explore – one point at a time. For today:

Who or what is the master creator of your tapestry?
Is it you?
Is it you working in tandem with your spiritual guide?
In what ways have you entrusted your life to another human being – perhaps given your power away?
