Mormon single adult conference on aug 22 2008

I gave a workshop at the conference on unity:

I showed my weaving and I told of how weaving can remind us about unity.

The saori weaving company is from Japan and their philosophy is "Nothing is wrong"- you can weave any way you like and it will still be right".

Weaving can remind us about life: People come from different parts of the World have different beliefs, different opinions, different perspectives and speak different languages. Everyone brings something special into this World, something that no one else can do as good as you. We all need to be understanding and listen to each other because what might work for one person, might not work for another person.

You only can tell so much by a persons physical appearance, for example: where they come from.

It's how you treat your self and other people that counts. When you really sit down and get to know people, they might surprise you by how much we are alike.

There are all different people in this World but we can learn how to work together. It's not how you look on the outside that counts as much as what's in your heart.

My thoughts on disability: disability: It's not "Disability" as much as "Different abilities". We all have something to share. Different people can do different things. We need to learn from each other and not to look down on people just because they can't do something. We should get to know a person for what they can do versus what they can't do otherwise you might be missing out on what's in front of you. You might be missing out on a great person.

WE ALL LIVE IN ONE WORLD, LET'S LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER!
