This Is How It Is

This is how it is. This is how it goes. It flows. From one activity to the next. From one color into another. From one texture to the next. Smooth like satin and in an instant it’s leather and lace, like a quilt of life sewn together with love and grace. That is how it is. One flavor to the next. One scent and then another. Easing themselves into the next until you have woven an entire lifetime into a beautiful quilt that you can adorn yourself with, showing all that you have lived, all that you have loved and everywhere you have been. Each place touching your soul in a different way. That is how it is.
