Poem
There is poetry in repair in the way broken things learn to hold themselves together again. Watch the spider mend her web at dawn, each silken thread a testament to persistence, how she refuses to let one torn strand define the whole of her creation. I've been learning from her, and from the masters who fill the cracks with gold, knowing that to be broken is not to be worthless— that healing leaves its own kind of shimmer. My grandmother taught me that darning is a form of meditation: in, out, under, over, the needle pulling truth through fabric like time pulling wisdom through pain. "See how the threads cross?" she'd say, "That's where the strength comes from." And isn't that the secret? That we are strongest where we've had to learn to hold ourselves together, where we've had to practice the ancient art of beginning again. There is no shame in patches, in visible mending, in showing the world where you've been stitched back whole. The scars are not ugly— they are a map of survival, each one a story of rising, of choosing to continue despite the unraveling. So bring me your torn places, your frayed edges, your places worn thin from worry. Bring me your shattered faith in small miracles. Let us sit together in this quiet art of reconstruction, threading hope through the eye of possibility, weaving tomorrow from the fabric of today. Because mending is not just repair— it is transformation, it is revolution, it is believing that what is broken can be made not just whole, but holy. And in the end, we are all just learning to be master menders of our own lives, stitching moments together into something that looks remarkably like grace.
