Weave, Write, Walk : a weaving of my life

by A. Fearday

WEAVE, WRITE, WALK is an autobiography of a North American religious who lived most of her life as a missionary in Bolivia. Through weaving, writing, and walking, Fearday finds the liberating space to reflect on her life experiences. Though this book is autobiographical, it is not chronological. Nonetheless, it is captivating and revealing. It is also interactive with questions after each chapter inviting the reader to reflect on his/her own weaving of life. The textile artists among us, knitters and loom-workers and quilters, will rejoice to identify their contemplative repetitions with those of this gentle missionary. Writers, poets, and journal keepers will say Amen! to the eloquent revelations by one who so simply and expertly practices their craft. Hikers and wanderers will also meet a person who speaks their language and takes the vocation of the rough road seriously, and with pleasure. This book invites you to use your hands, words, and feet to trace steps toward a more contemplative and self-examined life.
