Stitching

10 years worth of weather has had a destructive effect on my yurt. In this environment of four full seasons, wind, rain, sun, and snow have all battered it, revealing its weakest points. With little to lure us out, my attention has been able to turn toward its repair.

When I was a kid, I took sewing classes. As a teen I got a job using those skills working with cobblers. In my 30s, these skills morphed into marine canvas work, due to my boat’s being thrashed by Hurricane Iniki. As I contemplated the repair of the yurt, in meditation I was directed to use dental floss and darning needle to weave the yurt back into shipshape.
