It is rather disturbing to think about a different life while seemingly all is settled, isn't it?
Especially when you realize that you are getting older; decisions have been made, perspectives for the future are clear, nothing is up for discussion. Nothing new in sight.
To think of a different life can be looked upon as absolutely childish. You start to play with the basics again. You spell words in a new way. You give words different meanings.
What I learned from this wonderful novel is: Maybe it is necessary from time to time to ask questions. Would I rather live a different life? What are my wishes?
I made this quilt to encourage myself and everyone else to not be afraid to ask questions. To think and feel and act like a child. To try things out. To move. So that I don't regret anything in the end. Life is wonderful. I don't wish to waste one day.
I love that book!!
And the movie! With Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, a dream team.

"And you get to thinking about a different life." (quotation from the novel)
