Let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.--- James 1:4
As fire warms the body, as food strengthens us, as sunshine raises our spirits, so there is a subtle transfusion of some invisible force... weaving itself into the very warp and woof our our own mentalities.--- SOM
An exhibit in the Cloisters Museum in NY City features seven large tapestries depicting a hunt for the elusive, magical unicorn. Intricately detailed masterpieces of workmanship, the Unicorn Tapestries are beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages, luxuriously woven with the finest silk and gold threads. Each square inch of the tapestries took a worker an entire day to weave. Clearly, the work was done with careful, patient attention.
Day by day, each one of us is weaving the beautiful tapestry of our own lives, and like the master artisans of the Middle Ages, we are called to weave with patient and caring attention. Let us practice patient and caring attention by knowing that everything that happens in our lives is part of our growth process. The larger picture of life's path unfolds as we stay at our task of weaving, focusing on the good that is always present around us and within us, staying attuned to the truth of our oneness with Spirit. In this way, our practice of patience allows life to become beautifully and perfectly woven.
Visualize the tapestry of your life as being beautifully woven. Give caring attention to your thoughts, words, and acts, knowing the truth of your oneness. Then, patiently allow the wholeness and perfection of your true nature to unfold more fully.
Affirmation
I choose carefully how I weave the tapestry of my life, knowing that as an individual center of God-consciousness, I am guided to select only the finest threads of love, peace, and harmony.
