"Three o'clock struck, and four, and the half-hour rang its double chime, but Dorian Gray did not stir. He was trying to gather up the scarlet threads of life, and to weave them into a pattern; to find his way through the sanguine labyrinth of passion through which he was wandering. He did not know what to do or think...There is luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution. .."
From Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray
"'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things" from The Allman Brothers Band's "Ain't Wastin' Time No More"

I have spent so many days trying to gather and weave the threads of life. It is a hopeless feeling.
But it is also empowering. It reminds us we can gather and weave. It is all going to be okay.
