Mending Threads
A mending thread runs from my heart to reach
A mending thread dangling from yours
A mending thread to run from us across the street
A mending thread that will stretch from person to person
A mending thread of love and peace encircling the world
A mending thread to bind our wounds and heal our aching souls
A mending thread we can weave into a giant dream catcher
A mending thread that will hold our gravest nightmares
A mending thread to save me from the loneliness of missing you

If only the mending thread could reach across divisive lines!!

Reminds me of an icebreaker we used to do at our support group with a skein of yarn. Our facilitator would tell something about herself then throw the skein to someone else, who would tell something about themselves, and it would continue until every person had a chance to talk, then we’d start again. At the end we were so woven together and we knew so much about each other. Thank you for bringing that memory back to me.

Wow. I love how it goes from personal out to the world and then back to deeply personal again.

I could picture the mending thread weaving its way through your lines and stitching them together. Beautiful!

There are so many things that are broken that I wonder if ever it can be healed… but we should try at least to mend what is closest to us.

A mending thread … oh how this reminds me of my grandmother, my mother as they with needle, thread and boundless love mended our tattered and torn frocks.
