Fabric

.
I like soft, natural fabrics. It is their feel, the way they fold. The way they wrap your body... Just simply the level of comfort they offer when you wear them...

Of course this is a personal consideration. Other people may like fabrics that are easy in the laundry, that are fast drying. Or like non-wrinkling fabrics even better.
And in the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t matter what you choose; what matters is that you pick out what suits you best... And that may be one thing at one time, and another at a different time... It may suit a purpose, or be a folly ~ brightly colored or in more earthy tones.

It is not the material you choose but the way we make our choices that make up the fabric of our lives.
That give our lives structure; a framework within which we feel comfortable to live our lives.
As the fabric of our lives is woven, colors and patterns emerge. Sometimes culminating into events that may or may not have been within our realm of influence. And when things have happened, changes have occurred ~ the fabric of our lives is likely to change as well. Following our new priorities; woven in different colors and new patterns.

Whether we weave a strong fabric, or a fabric filled with folly depends on the choices we make. It depends on what we feel suits us, or our purpose, best at that time. What supports our lives best the way we see it right there and then.

From a more spiritual perspective, one might say that the basic fabric of our lives already exists. That all we do as we live our lives is to roll it out ~ moving from one pattern to the next; from one set of colors to another. With ever unexpected hues and colors appearing each time we roll out a bit more of that tapestry that is the fabric of our lives.

Yet again, it is not necessarily what is there ~ it is what we do with it that makes the difference. How we choose to react. How we handle the patterns and colors the fabric of lives has at this very point in time.

No matter how you look at it; whether you feel like you are weaving the fabric of your life or rather see it as an existing tapestry that is rolled out further and further as you live your life ~ it is up to us to choose how we will handle things. To determine what the patterns and colors mean to us; what events are moving in and out of our lives...

And again, it doesn’t matter a whole lot what you choice you make at any one time ~ as long as it feels like it is the right choice for you!
