My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue; An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view; A wond'rous woven magic in bits of blue and gold;A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky, there came a man of fortune; a drifter passing by. He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide and a coat of many colors; Yellow, green, on either side. He moved with some uncertainty as if he didn't know just what he was there for or where he ought to go. Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree and his hand came down emp-ty. Soon within my tapestry, along the rutted road, he sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad. It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell and I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well. As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared a figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard. In times of deepest darkness I've seen him dressed in black. Now my tapestry's unraveling; He's come to take me back. He's come to take me back.
My Life has been a tapestry... I just love this ... it is TOTALLY ME.... and I love Carole King.. this album featured here... was my very first album given to me by my Aunt Linda... who is a singer/songwriter herself. I memorized every single song on this album and still could sing each one, not very well mind you... but could still recite every word... this album and lyrics ALWAYS stuck with me... even after all these years... it was released in 1971...WOW.. the 70's... what a weird era... what ever changing views we went through. Similar to what we are going through right now... politically, relationally, fashionally (maybe not a word, but you get my point) ... I just wish I knew then ... what I know now... Haha... what a powerful statement...
Which leads me to another direction... ever changing views... I really find it extremely amazing how some peoples views DO change... sometimes on command... or change radically.. from one direction or view to another without warning... not to be an extremist or anything...but its just amazing ... how people can profess to be so "perfect" but don't look at themselves and what they need to change. More importantly... they refuse to remember and recognize whom they hurt in their past by their uncaring life choices.. a very sad affair.
But I guess in conclusion we really can't change the past... we can truly learn from our past mistakes... while....
moving on to the future... I guess in thinking of all of this ... and trying to let go resentment and bitterness... I need to give all of this to God.. and leave it in God's Hand...
Aloha & A Hui Ho...
