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.

Entire 1L glass bottle of olive oil shattered on the countertop when a can of corn fell out- as I was rushing to leave the house to pick up my beloved, whose bike chain snapped, and then took the MBTA home instead with the bike, but since the T is awful, it was being repaired again, and so shuttle busses, but then the shuttle bus couldn’t take her bike, so I had to take the car out to pick her and her broke bike up, covered in olive oil. My shoes, legs, shorts, shirt and the kitchen floor are now coated, with a smooth start and a peppery finish. Real life is rarely Instagram glam. #doitforthegram

Clerical goals: live and serve in such a way as to inspire a dessert to be named after you, like Manuel Joaquim Machado Rebelo, Abbot of Priscos. “He is today mostly remembered as the creator of Pudim Abade de Priscos, a classic of Portuguese cuisine.” With 15 egg yolks, port, and a hint of bacon. At the over the top Palácio do Buçaco. Taste and see.

“Marriage is a new country, with all the adventure and awkwardness... but we do not travel there alone.” So many blessings on la pareja casada, Braden y Carlos. (N.B.: American lady pastor now available to officiate all your bilingual weddings at Portuguese palaces) #nofilter
