The Architecting of Repair
By Miguel Santiago
Repair is the quiet architect working diligently in the shadowed corners of our brokenness, patiently piecing together the shards of shattered dreams and fractured hopes. The river smoothens a stone, not in an act of aggression, but through persistent tender touch, washing away the jagged edges of wounds with the gentle rhythm of its healing flow. Repair is the night sky’s promise when the day has bruised the cosmos; it stitches stars into the darkened quilt, making a mosaic of shiny sequins from scattered scraps of light. The gardener cares for injured blooms, encouraging them back to vibrant life or sometimes planting new seeds in the fertile soil of second chances. Repair, in its silent but indispensable symphony, orchestrates a melody of restoration, weaving together the torn music sheets of life’s compositions into a sonata of hope and renewal.
