July 9, 2019
The quilts all need mending
The Guatemalan ones and
The ones from India have
many areas that are coming
unstitched or torn away

Right Page:
We are each a remarkable thing stitched entirely together by all we have survived.
Or we choose the promise of mending. We stitch a quilt back together.
Or we try. On and on and on.
