(These are insights from my weaving sessions.
They are very simple and real. I find they apply
to everything one does...to life.)
We spend our life trying to acquire new things,
instead of finding out what we can
do with what
we already have.
Doing a knot is infinitely easier than undoing it.
Everything has a front and a reverse
The simplest solution is always the best one
It is worth following the manual (though sometimes when you dont, the most amazing things can happen...acts of shear creativity! ... at your own risk...)
A single cord out of place breaks the harmony of the whole piece.
When you have been through an entire journey,
the cords might not end up on the same place.
For a piece to be strong, the cords need to go right through the whole of it, from beginning to end. A cord that does not go right through the core, is a weak link and will cause the whole to break.

The doors to the world of Wild Woman are many and unsuspected. If you have a deep wound, that is a door. If you have a dream, that is a door. If you have had enough of repression or abuse of any kind, that is a door. If there is a voice within you claiming to be heard; if there is within you a poem, a painting, a song, a project, that is a door. If you are seeking a fuller life, a more creative life, a healthier life, that is a door...
Paraphrase of Clarissa Pinkola Estes, in Women Who Run With The Wolves.
