In weaving, do overs are accomplished easily. If you make a mistake threading or don’t like the colors you can simply undo what you have threaded and rethread or try another color. But in life, do overs are rarely that easy. Sometimes we say things we regret. And the chance to get a do over depends on the person who had to listen to us. Sometimes we dont get a chance for a do over. Like they say you only get one chance to make a first impression. What do you do when you want a do over and can’t get it? When I make a big time consuming mistake on a weaving project I stare at the mistake and will it away. Soon, though i realize the problem is there to stay. So i square my shoulders and set to work. I “do over” the threading and fix the problem. It takes time and patience but eventually its done and over with and I move on to the weaving. I guess when a do over in life is not an option, no matter how much we want it, we just have to square our shoulders and keep on keeping on. I’ll weave the mistakes I’ve made into the fabric of my life and dance on. and wonder, what if i could get a do over?
