A LIVING TAPESTRY
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.
Mahatma Gandhi was a great spiritual and political leader in India during the twentieth century. At the forefront of the Indian struggle for independence from Great Britain, he advocated resistance to tyranny through nonviolent noncompliance. His life and philosophy were an inspiration for civil rights movements around the world.
