THREADS

If each life is a tapestry

There is a thread

 – A colour

 – A shape

 – A sound or smell

 – A taste

 – Maybe an action

That runs through the whole piece.

Sometimes it is visible

… front and centre.

Other times it is hidden

… winding behind other shapes or threads.

Sometimes it is forgotten

… tangled in among all the other things.

Or maybe it is purposely excluded

… relegated to a dark region

Where it cannot be seen.

But He made each tapestry 

And continues to weave the pattern determined long before.

He knows why that 

Thread, colour, shape, sound, smell, taste or action

Was chosen

To be a continuous feature

In that particular tapestry.

When the piece that runs through all

Is seen 

noticed 

used

enjoyed

It pulls the whole together

Into a beautiful unity

Exploding with joy.

What is your thread or piece?

Music? Creativity? Story? Sensory input?

Nature? Food? Structure? 

Laughter? Peace? Welcome?

Discernment? Wisdom? Passion?

What has been present at every phase 

Part of who you have been through each age?

Sometimes hidden, neglected, or overlooked?

Sometimes enjoyed or celebrated?

Maybe it’s time for it to 

come forth

to pull your tapestry together.

I am finding my colourful thread

And joy is overflowing.
