Carpets and Life

As nothing in life happens by chance, all actions, encounters, relationships, thoughts or deeds are like the threads of a carpet being woven. The threads proceed for some time in a straight line, then they cross other threads and then others, thus creating a perfectly shaped and balanced pattern, following the weaver's directives. Do you do the same? Hardly. The various “points” (happenings) in your life definitely “do” cross other peoples, but how much awareness do you have in actually carrying out the crossings? Is your behavior always balanced, suitable, sensible? Do you know what to think, say and do when you are interacting with your human fellows? As usual, "awareness", i.e. mindfulness, is the key to a better life.
