"a fabric consisting of a warp upon which colored threads are woven by hand to produce a design, often pictorial, used for wall hangings, furniture coverings, etc."
Well... thats what dictionary.com has for this word. Doesn't it fill us with awe... I mean.. the language that we devised. The words we made to represent what we feel and the feelings that come back to us when we hear these words again. Wow.
Aha... comin back to tapestry... I have heard someone say....that word in a shopping mall about a carpet I guess.. can't really say what it was but to put my mind at ease..I just assumed it to be a carpet... :-) but thats not the point. The point is tapestry.
If we confine ourselves to the carpet.. its jus the design, made by some person.. an artist or jus some random worker in a carpet factory.. his/her granma's idea of a "tatoo on the ground infront of her house..for a day" (pardon my inability to remember the word for it but it is to bring "muggu", a telugu word, to your mind), but if look around us and at the people and events of our lives, then dawns a realization upon us that life itself is a tapesty of all sorts of things. Sometimes it turns out to be a vibrant and lively mixture of colours and sometimes its jus a dull grey winter evening picture.. but with a promise of a beautiful morning in a few hours.
But even so.. every carpet is a masterpiece if we look closely. And we are the artists. Awesome right. Who said we were not talented!!
A friend of mine has her blog page titled ' life is a play.. n I am the director ' ... well... this word is for her. Dedicated.
Cheers.

that, as crazy as it sounds, makes sense to me. Yeah, what we do, the way we live, who we love, why, when, what, everything together makes it all this beautiful collage and turns into what you call ''tapestry''..
And for the last two line- :)
