#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Meadow Web
“I came from a family of repairers. The spider is a repairer. If you bash into the web of a spider, she doesn’t get mad. She weaves and repairs it.”
When someone
something bashes into me
I am mad in an instant - desire to strike
let me use my hurt to hurt
I suspect Louise Bourgeois
unlike the spider, was often mad
maybe what she means
is bashing back
isn't necessary
if repair
is a silken thread
of focus your guts
spin, an internal
uncompromising
use of energy
to feel whole
