I don't know if I have the strength to care for Yukiko and the children, I thought. No more visions can help me, weaving special dreams just for me.

No one will weave dreams for me? it is my turn to weave dreams for others. That's what I have to do. Such dreams may have no power, but if my own life...
Haruki Murakami
As we, or mother Dana, weave and unweave our bodies, Stephen said, from day to day, their molecules shuttled to and fro, so does the artist weave and unweave his image. And as the mole on my right breast is where it was when I was born, though all my body has been woven of new stuff time after time, so through the ghost of the unquiet father the image of the unliving son looks forth.

To achieve within the work a perfect balance of faith and execution. From this state of mind comes a light, life-changed.
