Life is like a patchwork quilt with each square telling a different story, but the entirety making a compilation of one's life. I have randomly selected different periods of my life that I found noteworthy and attempted to accumulate them into a fragment of my imagination. I have included stories from my childhood through adult and by no means exhausted the well that supplied them. The quilt will be complete when the stories end and that will be at my demise. We all have a quilt we're working on, whether we know it or not. What is displayed there may have bright colors and intricate stitching or dark overtones of black. We are the authors of our quilt and someday it will be revealed in its entirety to our glory or shame, which is the ultimate question. I hope you enjoy the few segments of my quilt I am sharing with you here.
