A Moebius strip is just a loop with a twist in it, but that twist means that it cannot ever be laid flat. If an ant were to walk along the edge of your finished cowl, it would walk around the entire piece, top and bottom, and end up right back where it started.

A Moebius strip is “non-orientable,” which means that our ant would never know where it was. Is it on top? Is it on the bottom? Are they the same thing?

Life can feel non-orientable, as we find ourselves lost or right back where we started without even knowing how we got there. But there’s a magic in that, a surprise and delight in the journey, with its mysterious loops and twists and seemingly wrong turns that aren’t really wrong at all--they’re leading us exactly where we are headed, whether we know it or not.
