I can feel all of your emotions in this piece- reminds me of when my kiddos were little. I just subscribed and am so glad I did!!

Kate, your piece speaks a parallel to my own life: the rosary, the chaos of kids and the surprise moments of how broken things come to be. I love your prompt about mending and repair--what can/cannot be put back together. Thank you for this example from your own life experience.

Kate, your prompt reminds me of a Rumi quote: "Some torn places cannot be patched."

Oh I love that. I think that’s my natural leaning (the Rumi quote), and why the moment with my kids felt so impactful. Thank you for sharing!
