A LIVING TAPESTRY
Christ Enthroned. The Book of Kells. Trinity College, Dublin. ca. 800 AD.
Imagine a tapestry.
It contains thousands, perhaps millions, of individual threads. When the threads are woven together, something larger forms and an overall design emerges.
Now imagine that tapestry woven out of living threads, each thread having the ability to change color and shape. And as each thread changes, the tapestry responds and transforms as well, allowing a different design to be revealed.
Your life is just like a single thread in a living tapestry.
THE BOOK OF KELLS
The Book of Kells, also known as The Book of Columba, is an illuminated manuscript containing the Four Gospels [Matthew, Mark, Luke and John] in Latin. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and insular illustration. Insular art [insula/island] refers to both script and illustration and was a style unique to Britain and Ireland, originating out of Irish monasticism.
