Life Is A Quilt
“I liken my life’s journey to that of creating a patchwork quilt. Carefully and lovingly, I choose the fabric of my being. As I gather the pieces, I shall sort them and put each in its proper place. None resembling that of another, yet common enough to become a whole.”
“Only with the finest threads, my feelings, will I be able to connect these pieces. As my connection grows, I will enjoy my becoming.”
“When the last piece is in place, and the final stitch has been taken, my physical life will be no more. And I shall be like a beautifully designed quilt. Unseen by some, forgotten by many, remembered by others, and by a few, treasured forever.”
