“Life made its pattern around and beneath and through her.”

“Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery. ”

“We made it through the traps. Though dangerous, I'd go back through them all just to have her wrap her arms around me like that again.#Ren”

“Behold the stars and planets all making their grand patterns above while the waves beneath play others; then there are the patterns in and between the patterns. Are they all synchronistic. . . . Can such a thing as one pattern be distilled from all? . . . the patterns seem harmonic and chaotic, in mind as in matter.”

“It was becoming a pattern. The somedays of her life would teach her not to look forward to anything. Because life is passive agressive. Once it finally gets off its ass and allows you a wish fulfilled, that wish will come with a heavy price.”

“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.”
