Why Mend?

Stitch by stitch, I’m learning to repair. My teachers are YouTube videos, vintage pamphlets, and octogenarian church ladies. Mostly, I’ve learned by sitting down and working with my hands. I’m learning with my hands what I longed for in my life: to repair what is torn.

Some people go to the mountains for awe; I go to art. This stopped me in my tracks. The detail. The depth. The collection. The intention. #eddykamuangailunga #waxcloth #coltan

I’m so fond of #Epiphany/ #Theophany/ #tresreyesmagos /#ArmenianChristmas the sacred beyond words and the decidedly human of old church ladies bringing their empty soda bottles to fill up on extra holy water to mix into some stew fed to family. I love it all. And so much love to the community at St James in Watertown which seats me with their clergy and sent me home with food, so I can have #choreg with my #coquito. My beloved and I “chalked the door” of our home with CMB - or Christus mansionem benedicat" which means "Christ bless this house". Peace to the world this night.

If nothing else, I enter 2020 with a fully labeled spice drawer.

Listen. It’s “Go tell it on the Mountain,” an African American Christmas spiritual, sung in Syriac by a Syriac Orthodox choir. This is how wide the Church is. This is how far the story of the Child born in a manger has traveled. Over the hills and everywhere, and back again. And here I am, sitting in a church in Boston, alive to listen to this praise. It is the great joy of my life to bear witness.

O little town of #Boston.
