Holes in the Fabric

Many holes in fabric can be repaired by people with sewing expertise. I am not one of those people. The repairs I make are obvious and usually a little crooked–they make plain that the fabric once had a hole. Sometimes, I think that repairs in the fabric of our lives are like that–there will always be the mark of the tear or worn spot even if we’ve restored structural integrity to the fabric. The repairs can be noticed, and even cherished, in time. -Michael Tino (CLF)
