Mirror 1235; Loree Harrell 2016, Sandy River, Oregon
There are seams between then and now, now and next,
where a choice is stiched onto a past, and the next moment
changes everything that follows. Life is no whole cloth,
formed of a piece, but more a cobbling of action and heart
and thought, greater or lesser, onto the patchworked form
already existing. Nothing once placed can be ever removed,
no thing can be redone or painted over, although its effect
can be affected with the addition of a piece which alters the
chemistry of the whole and shifts a balance. Our task is not
to change anything already done, but to choose that next act,
love, thought, in such a way that our last fleeting glimpse
of a cloth finally whole,
pleases us.
