Book excerpt: Intricately Woven: Life/Work Direction's Story Finding a Life Calling - We listened to our life story. - We discovered God had been weaving together our gifts and choices into a pattern pointing toward a life work uniquely suited to us. Creating Work - We began listening to peoples' stories, helping them discover the tapestry of their lives. - Life/Work Direction emerged as a living organism-one open to exploring deep and risky questions about the meaning of life and work. - We embarked on a joyful adventure, weaving together the strands of our hopeful vision with the practicalities of survival. Ensuring a Lasting Direction - Life/Work Direction proved strong and supple enough to grow beyond its founders, open to changes in the culture and times. - Writing this book uncovered colorful threads of energy that had been interwoven from the inception of the work - persons called to a vision harmonious with the original one and in step with the 21st century. - The core vision is enduring.

Book excerpt: The Quechua people of southern Peru are both agriculturalists and herders who maintain large herds of alpacas and llamas. But they are also weavers, and it is through weaving that their cultural traditions are passed down over the generations. Owing to the region's isolation, the textile symbols, forms of clothing, and technical processes remain strongly linked to the people's environment and their ancestors. Heckman's photographs convey the warmth and vitality of the Quechua people and illustrate how the land is intricately woven into their lives and their beliefs. Quechua weavers in the mountainous regions near Cuzco, Peru, produce certain textile forms and designs not found elsewhere in the Andes. Their textiles are a legacy of their Andean ancestors. Andrea Heckman has devoted more than twenty years to documenting and analyzing the ways Andean beliefs persist over time in visual symbols embedded in textiles and portrayed in rituals. Her primary focus is the area around the sacred peak of Ausangate, in southern Peru, some eighty-five miles southeast of the former Inca capital of Cuzco. The core of this book is an ethnographic account of the textiles and their place in daily life that considers how the form and content of Quechua patterns and designs pass stories down and preserve traditions as well as how the ritual use of textiles sustain a sense of community and a connection to the past. Heckman concludes by assessing the influences of the global economy on indigenous Quechua, who maintain their own worldview within the larger fabric of twentieth-century cultural values and hence have survived everything from Latin American militarism to a tidal wave of post-modern change.
