A Mending Manifesto
MEND like your life depends on it. Because it does.
Wherever you place your attention,
that thing increases
This is the first principle you grasp once you realize your thoughts form your world
In the US, our attention fueled a hateful misogynist demagogue
We were disgusted, yet we thought about nothing else
We gave that creature our power
(This is happening the world over)
Now switch off the news
Look away
MEND INSTEAD
Mending is a metaphor
Mending is practical
Mending is menditation
Mending is powerful
OF COURSE WE MUST FIGHT
But also: love, sew, talk
"The News" is only one reality
Deepest power is not in politics
Let's raise the universal feminine
The scorned domestic arena
Home of the whole world
Racism
Fear
Hatred
Bigotry
Misogyny
This is not normal
This is not OK
Let's repair it
stitch by stitch
WAKE UP!
