Day Two: Change
Day 2: My full-time roommate is adapting, too. She's stayed very, very close the past couple of days...this is what I woke to. VERY CLOSE.
"My life is a tapestry woven from many strands: things I have done, people I have known, and places I have been. There is a strand for each of my dreams and aspirations since childhood. Some have been dropped in the weaving, but most have simply been woven into a new design. It is a tapestry woven of light and darkness, and even in the times of greatest darkness there are strands of light which shine more brightly in contrast to the surrounding darkness.
I carry this tapestry with me always. Often, I keep the past tightly rolled up - it is easier to carry that way. But I find myself now at a particular point where I want to unroll the tapestry and marvel at the patterns and designs that have been created. At different stages, different colors and textures predominate. Everything that has brought me to this point in life is here. All of it is who I am now.
If the past and the present are here, is not the future also? Is the potential for all that I can be contained in this tapestry? I want to move forward from this point conscious of the patterns in my life and the design I am creating with it."
