The old woman who weaves may be making a sweater or some socks or perhaps she weaves the delicate strands of existence, sewing the threads of 6.6 billion stories into this fibrous fabric.
There are a fixed number of people on this planet (although a fairly large number and growing!) and each one of these individuals has a different perspective, a different way of thinking. Each person has something to teach and many things to learn. Each person has a tiny piece of a puzzle that creates some bigger picture. Each person weaves a thread into this fabric of humanity.
So as the old woman weaves, so too does she weave the world.

A thoughtful post. Also a lovely photo. I like the way you have framed the shot, cropping the head to draw the eye to her hands. Nice job.
