And though she is talking about writing, it relates beautifully to the creative process, and so much to what I'm thinking also. I love it if I can weave and that other part of my brain can listen to amazing writers.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend Truth and Beauty, which I think may be better read after reading Autobiography of a Face, written by her friend Lucy Grealy.

I'm a very new weaver and still learning a lot about the techniques used in creating tapestries. But this is a lovely reminder to practice forgiveness, and also patience.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700112600519306495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-46514770036517877672014-04-03T17:15:52.229-06:002014-04-03T17:15:52.229-06:00Excellent, Rebecca!

It will come off the loom in a few days and for the first time I will see the entire tapestry, and already I know that it won't be quite what I have envisioned these past 2 years.
