Latch hook and the Bible

“The Dinosaur age was about 35-250 million years ago, and Ayurvedic Medicine started around 3000-5000 years ago.” Thinking of things happening thousands or millions of years ago makes me see how our lives can mean so little when we are looking at the timeline of life. I’ve been doing latch hook lately to help me calm my mind down when needed. When I am doing a new project I never see the whole picture, but just a small piece of yarn and 2 holes next to each other that I have to tie the yarn too. If I keep adding little pieces of information in the right way I soon start to see a beautiful picture appear from all the colors of yarn. I then look deep into only one piece of yarn at a time again and I lose the big picture where things become self-ish and small again. When I am done with my latch hook and step back I again see the picture, not just pieces of yarn. Now say I place the new picture I made on a wall and step back, I don’t just see a latch hook on a wall, but a whole room with all of its belongings included my latch hook. At this point the single piece of yarn that meant so much to me now seems meaningless in this big picture of the whole room. Let’s now say when I made my latch hook I decided to hurry things along and not put in pieces of yarn throughout the latch hook. I step back and see a picture, but it seems like something is missing. I then see the picture on the wall in a room and it just doesn’t look right. Just a couple little pieces of yarn missing and the big picture is not complete. Maybe our lives that seem to be just a little speck in the big picture really has a lot more power then we think. If we don’t live our lives to the fullest and most natural way of doing things, we will end up leaving an empty space in the timeline of existence, and that can make all the difference in the world. I don’t think there are an old testament and a new testament of the bible. I think there is a volume 1 and a volume 2 of the bible. We right now are living in volume 3 and we need to decide what part of volume 3 we want to be. All I know is I don’t want to be the missing piece of yarn.
