MENDING AS METAPHOR

"Populism" -- bigotry and hatred-- spreads like headlice in a kindergarten as we dread the first orange POTUS, and witness (this morning) two seven-year-olds detonate themselves in a Nigerian marketplace. 
 
And all I want to do is sew up holes in clothes.
   


 We can't mend the world with a needle but, honestly, a bit of stitchery helps. As I attack my mending pile, I feel my own horror of the news subsiding. Sewing, like knitting, swimming and sex, has a hypnotic rhythm; soothing, absorbing, constructive.  As vedic teacher Thom Knoles said about the election:

     
"Leaders" are the mirror of the average state of collective consciousness. What we can do is raise the average; be personally exemplary of a higher consciousness state.
 
And so I repair things in amusing ways, with intensity and care, thus mending my consciousness state and unpicking the gloom and despair that descended on November 9th. I like to remember that the one thing Trump can't stand is being ignored. Being in my sewing place is my surest way of doing that. In our mending circle, politics is paused. We're not ignoring the times: we are activists. But while we're mending, we're mending.

My grandfather and grandmother are happy with your family especially if your grandma and grandmother care about me because my grandfather and grandmother love to miss my mom
When I’m not doing that I’m thinking of a good thing to do to make it even harder than myself to do my own work and home hard work that even when you’re in trouble
