“You're easily distracted by the pattern of the cloth and can't see the quality of the threads.”

“Don’t allow yourself to become disheartened when the thread doesn’t suit or seems unsightly to you. Wait and watch. Be patient and devoted. As the threads twist and turn, you will begin to understand, and you will see the pattern finally materialize in all its splendor.”

“It will be very interesting one day to follow the pattern of our life as it is spread out like a beautiful tapestry. As long as we live here we see only the reverse side of the weaving, and very often the pattern, with its threads running wildly, doesn't seem to make sense. Some day, however, we shall understand. In looking back over the years we can discover how a red thread goes through the pattern of our life: the Will of God.”

“Adrian was easily distractible by wacky topics and shiny objects.”

“It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.”

“If life is a loom, the pattern you weave is not so easily unraveled.”
