My daughter’s music teacher was having a nervous breakdown. I wouldn’t have noticed except that she was also my friend. She befriended me at the Quaker school we couldn’t afford, the year I divorced my daughter’s father for financial and emotional abuse. ..

Building things with your hands while holding space for other people’s pain. Maybe there’s a piece in there about renewal, and the power of not knowing that defeat is inevitable. This is how every new generation may fight and win battles that their elders lost..
