Sometimes I dream I am a thread being woven into cloth. When I am weaving I am one with my loom. The warp threads lifting, the shuttle floating between them, the rhythmic beating of the reed. The loom becomes my dance partner. Weaving inspires me. I watch the cloth grow and develop with each pass of the shuttle. I know my cloth, I am one with my cloth.
