Because the last time I tried to die, I woke up in the ICU with the feeling, no, the certainty, that I was still here because I still had Work to do.
The face of God I turn to most often is the creator. The incredible beauty and infinite variety that surrounds us is evidence, to me at least, of the care S/He takes in all things. I try to keep the thought that God created me for some purpose I do not yet understand in front of me. I know the care and thought that go into my quilts is microscopic in relation to our creator's so I must trust that even the smallest thread has significance to the whole work.
I have also learned that I need to shield myself from problems I can do nothing about, so I rarely watch the news or read about national or international affairs. Call me an ostrich but it has made my life less unbearable.
