The Mothers taught that every story begins twice.

First as a fragment.

Then as recognition.

You are not expected to understand the pattern.

Only to notice it.

Some fragments will arrive before their meaning.

Some meanings will arrive before their fragment.

Keep them anyway.

All quilts begin with a single piece.

AND FINALLY…

No fragment is placed by accident.

No fragment is required.

Take what calls to you.

Leave what does not.

The pattern you discover may not be the one another discovers.

Both are true.
