A fascinating aspect of beautiful medieval tapestries is the sense of many things happening, but not quite in real time or space. That strange perception can wake us up, as our eyes move along the flat woven surface. A flower here, an animal there. We notice a cat, a fox, a rabbit, a variety of plants. When we take a moment to notice each one, we appreciate the whole tapestry more. Life benefits from the same kind of Looking. When we take a moment to notice, or to wear, one beautiful element of the natural world, we remember each plant or creature is part of Nature, and we can see that Whole in each one of them. 2. Tapestry Life The fox was not hungry for anything but beauty, for a little grace, its own place in the colors, among the strange stitched plants, to sit, and some breath of wind behind the tapestry, to bring it life. Being Art, both sly and soft, and wise and tricky, fox eyed the weave to hunt meanings. Also soft, signing luck and plenty, the rabbit climbed across the tapestry, across time and space, from one Art to another Art, to offer a small shine of new Beauty, inspired by old Beauty, one living thing to another. ~ Lin Nulman Lin Nulman has wide experience writing for herself, for the historic site where she works, for creative journals and anthologies, for theaters, for public television art auctions, and for websites about real estate and design.
