To me maintenance feels like a chore. It’s something you have to do, but it detracts from all the things you could be doing.
But there’s another way of looking at maintenance. You are keeping something alive. In this sense you aren’t simply maintaining. You are gardening.
The Garden and Desire
A garden is a place where we bring together the things that delight us, and hope to make them grow SEE The Heart and the Garden
The whole idea of a garden strikes a deep chord, as if it is the home to which we truly belong. SEE Back to the Garden
Repair as an Act of Creation
When something is designed to inhabit a specific space, the entire dynamics of that space must be considered. In this sense an act of creation is a type of Repair to Create New Wholeness.
We can also think of repair as an act of creation, SEE Kintsugi, an Art that Goes Beyond Repair.
