Tapestry of Life

"In the tapestry of life, we're all connected. Each one

of us is a gift to those around us, helping each other be 

who we are, weaving a perfect picture together."

Anita Moorjani

When we invest less in protecting the self and more in contributing our gifts to others, we create a tapestry of life with threads of eclectic beauty. When we stand back, the irregularity of stitches and snags can now be seen as distinctive uniqueness. The opposite of perfection is creatively woven into the design.

As we extend our borders with others, there is growing expansion for empathy. We learn through the tapestry of others, as we realize that defective stitches contribute to the whole. Perfection, we discover, has far less appeal than the snagged threads inconveniently woven in. Bursts of wonder escort us into the engagement with weavings of others.

As we adapt and cultivate a life filled with color and random design, we loosen our restraints and open to the diversity of others. There is no right or wrong, and perspectives can best be understood through the eyes of others. It is in the opening of our boundaries, not closing, that we are able to weave others into becoming part of our life and identity.
