Threading a needle
Almost had a wardrobe malfunction today. That’s where a button threatens to seek out new surroundings, without prior notice. In this case, I became aware of the lengthening cord between the button and me, and was able to intervene with a skill learned before I could ride a bike. After all, my time in the Scouting movement taught me enough basic tailorship to thread a needle, anchor my effort and lap until done. That’s enough to get me through the crises of existence in a world of wear.
