Thank you, Emma. I am deeply touched by this piece, especially this passage:
"Loss lets us down, it can put us in a tumble spin and even hangs us out to dry. In making, in mending we come into relationship with our tattered wounded parts and we tend. The slow and deliberate work of mending, repairs people as well as things. What is made is not so much new, but altered."
The act of mending is about appreciating, reminiscing and honouring the preciousness of life - where we've been, where we are now, and where we'll become.

I really value hearing that the words were read and connected. Thank you Bonnie.
