holy synchronicity! i wanted an image of weaving a tapestry to illustrate the story i want to share today and i’ve been wondering why i’ve taken a sabbatical from posting peace prevailing on earth images and so the universe responds with the image above combining the message of peace prevailing with a call to weave a tapestry…. more in a moment…
first,the ancient story, a creation myth of grandmother spider as the old woman living in a cave weaving the web of life, a beautiful tapestry of thousands of threads all flowing and merging together until…. a dog wanders into the cave and paws the tapestry catching a thread that unravels the old woman’s mastery peace…
holy chaos! does the old woman throw up her hands in the midst of the destruction of her life’s work? does she curl up in fetal position? does she rue the dog’s existence?
she walks the way of wisdom showing us a creative response to times such as these… she picks up a thread, simply one thread and begins weaving a new story arising from the earth, whispering from the heavens… a song in rhythm with where we are moving, a tapestry of our coming together to meet the challenge and stand together in love for love… and now back to the tapestry/quilt image…
the WPPS is collaborating with PIECE for PEACE, a project of Women Wage Peace in Israel. WPPS pledged to collect and send quilt squares stitched with the message, May Peace Prevail On Earth. Squares will be woven and collected from all around the world in the end forming a huge patchwork quilt giving expression to the voices of women calling for peace to prevail in Israel and Palestine.
