Rewoven by the Loom - The Creative Process in Action

When decay becomes creation in action

Nature's decay has an intelligence to it - a way of clearing the old and returning it to the earth as nourishment for new life. It is the natural process of creation in action.

The mold diagnosis came like a mirror: a physical sign of everything that was breaking down inside me. For a while I fought it—scrubbing, purging, trying to outpace the decay. But slowly I began to see that rot isn’t failure. It’s transformation.

What I once called falling apart is actually the body’s way of making space for truth. The old threads loosen; the weave rearranges itself. It’s messy and uncomfortable, but this is how new life begins.

I used to think healing meant moving upward into clarity and light. Now I see it as compost—the sacred work of turning what has died into soil for what will grow next.

When I stopped trying to hold everything together, something began to breathe again. The loom—the great intelligence of life itself—took over the weaving.

I realized I am not the weaver this time.

I am what’s being rewoven.

If your own life feels like it’s unraveling, take heart—you are being rewoven. This isn't punishment; it's your soul and body making room for what's true.

Trust the process....

I share more stories and practices for living this truth inside my letters to the Soul-Woven community. You can join here.
