It was during the lowest low of my friend's life that she created a tapestry. She is a very creative person and had always loved to sew. Using a variety of fabrics, texture, beads and buttons, she spent two months on this project. It was something she had to do. At times it seemed to take on a life of its own. She fashioned a meandering river, a playful dolphin, a magnificent ocean.
When she was finished, she hung the tapestry on a wall in her home. Shortly afterwards, she had a visitor. After looking at the tapestry for a moment, the guest asked, "Did you intend to make an angel?" My friend took a second look and saw something she had not seen before. There was a clear image of an angel across the entire tapestry.
No. She had not intended to make an angel. Yet that is exactly what she had done. I wonder, what accidental angel will emerge from our greatest pain?
