"By healing the parts of ourselves that are frozen in the past,
we are able to bring them back into the present ... and each
time we do this we become less fragmented and more whole."
Jessica Moore
Whether knitting or crocheting, if a stitch is dropped it will create a hole. Unfortunately, the hole is not noticed until the piece has advanced several inches. It is frustrating to pull apart the completed rows to get back to the error, but it must be done. Once corrected, the piece looks amazingly better.
The same thing is true for ourselves. We have been hurt and even with forgiveness, the hole remains frozen in time. Just like needlework, with precision we need to return back in time to absolve the pain so the hole can be patched.
Pockets of pain are heavy and weigh us down, so much so, that moving forward may be a tremendous struggle. When there is a hole safe passage is questionable. When we make adjustments, we may still remember the incident, but there are no more pangs of sorrow to distract us or weigh us down. If we can construct ourselves to be whole, we are better prepared to navigate our life with joy.
