Can you see the curtains yet? I see them in my mind’s eye as I measure the length of the warp ends. Two ends at a time, from their tubes, through my fingers, and to the warping reel, which I spin ’round and ’round to measure eight yards. Planned in my mind and on paper, this is where the curtains start to become reality.
There comes a point in any endeavor when you have to get past the thinking and planning stage to move into action. Taking the first step feels uneasy, like a step of faith into the unknown future.
What is the starting point for faith? Consider this: From microscopic algae to planets in our solar system, everything is crafted with mind-boggling precision, much more so than my simple cloth. Certainly, there must be a mastermind behind it all. Just picture the outstretched arms and immense power that set everything into motion. Nothing is too difficult for such a mastermind! Grab hold of that thought to awaken faith in God. This starting point for faith is a step into a deep sense of wonder.
May your thinking and planning bring you to a satisfying starting point.
Step by step,

Thank you, Karen! I so much appreciate what you write, it really helps me get past the thinking and planning stage in my life.
And I can’t wait to se the curtains.
Moving past the thinking and planning is sometimes as simple as a decision, but often it means not knowing all the answers before we start — and being okay with that.
It is fun to have someone to share the weaving journey with! We can watch the curtains develop together.
