“My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue,
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold”
The Lyrics from Carole King’s song “Tapestry”
WHY TAPESTRY?
Welcome to my blog “Tapestry”…I chose this name for my blog because as a teenager I enjoyed listening to the song “Tapestry” by Carole King. I remember thinking that the meaning of the song was about the pieces of life that creates a puzzle of ones life. I still look at the the meaning of the song as to being the pieces of our life that like a puzzle that all connect to create a picture of who we are. At this point in my life the tapestry is much fuller, colorful, and meaningful with many more pieces that our reflective of my own life. Life has made me a more mature and sophisticated thinker and I have developed a deeper meaning to the song to include how life has changed me and made me take a closer look at my role in my family, as an educator, and as a member of an everchanging society.
