Welcome To The Month Of Repair

Practice Repair

Bless generously, curse rarely; practice repair.
Read a book or a blog or watch a movie about something or some situation or someone beyond the ability to
relate; practice repair.

Lean into comfort zones, strengths, and inklings of bliss; practice repair.
Pause to ask whether words are both skillful and absolutely necessary; practice repair.
Sing full-throated songs that create and recreate beloved community; practice repair.

Let go of stubborn self-righteousness, and have mercy; practice repair.
Honor the ancestors who could not have imagined our lives or even our very being; practice repair.
Smile; practice repair.

Multiply joy, divide sorrow, practice repair.
With the tools at hand; practice repair.
Perhaps I have tools you could borrow, perhaps you could lend me from yours, and together, we can practice
repair.
