define “ravel”
“Ravel is an interesting verb, in that it can both mean ‘tangle’ and ‘untangle’…as threads come unwoven in a cloth, they become tangled on each other”

Somewhere between the immanence and ineffability of God must be a place where the apparent unraveling of life all around us…
friends lost, marriages undone, breakdowns and heartbreaks…
is known by the other side of the coin, a raveling of sorts.

I am taken today by the lack of distinction between “raveling” and “unraveling,” since ravel in itself is a tangling and untangling. I am reminded that somewhere within all this unraveling is the touch of God spinning what is to come into its newness.
