Weaving is a magical art form that has been around for centuries. It’s about creating fabric by interlacing threads at right angles.
This art is not just about making cloth; it’s a metaphor for life. Like weaving life combines our experiences, events and relationships to form our unique story.
Each choice and action in life is like selecting and arranging threads in weaving.
Both processes require making decisions that shape the final outcome.
Weaving like life is an intricate process of building something beautiful and meaningful from individual parts.
Here are some of the best quotes on weaving.
