Issues in our lives are not simply black and white. Some issues are gray. And then there is the occasional insight that drops in to help make some of those issues more clear. This quilt represents thoughts I have on my journey. Some seem black and some seem white, but most of them are really gray areas that I have no clue concerning. The red border is representative of the life blood of my journey. It is the life giving source that separates me from to total blackness of the universe. It is also that force which inspires me to continue on this journey because I know that tomorrow I may dance with the dancing galaxies of the universe. My cousin chose this quilt because it reminded her of the black and white keyboard of a piano. She has fond memories of my piano talents while we were growing up. Isn’t it funny how one quilt brings up entirely different emotional contexts.
