Hello! It has been awhile since I have been able to visit with you by way of the blog. It is really good to be back!
Through some varying circumstances, the last few weeks have been a time of solitude and retrospect. As any writer will probably agree, those conditions make for a lot of ideas and thinking on how to develop them.
I would say one of the most common themes of my thought processes the last few weeks is how true the comparison of a tapestry is in relation to our lives. There are so many influences that go into the development of what our lives become. People obviously play an important role. It is a crucial role, really. Some provide the color and strength to our life tapestries, while others provide the friction that can either fray or change the pattern. Some may be consistent throughout, others may come and go in the design. Others yet may simply be that one unique color in just a corner of the pattern.
Each experience in life contributes to the tapestry, and can also be a positive or negative. Sometimes, it is our reaction or perception that makes the change in the design, and not really what was intended.
Before a tapestry comes together, it is just a pile of different color threads- maybe of different textures, too. But, woven together it creates beauty.
Writing is much like that. Out of the jumble of colors and textures of our lives, stories come forth- full of emotion and life!
