A quote from a book of short stories I’m reading

(Navajo boy)

“My mother works her rugs the old way.

She knows to keep her designs open so not to weave her Spirit in.”

From “Tight Places” by Ruth I. Kern

Women Writers of the Southwest - Walking the Twilight

 I tried for an hour to write something wise and meaningful to compliment this quote.

Nothing seemed to fit

 Then it came to me

It’s already complete

Adding to it would only weave the thought together too closely

And that would defeat the whole purpose wouldn’t it?
