The divine is a tailor.
I am woven by the thread the needle pulls through the patchwork quilt of my ordinary life. If I only followed the needle I may fail to observe the beautiful pattern emerging, slowly becoming something more than my death shroud. When I am awake, I can allow my life to be sewn into a blanket used for warmth in the winter and a picnic in the summer.
