Making Meditation: How Sewing Saved my Mental Health

Adventure. That’s what I always thought I would do if I found myself with a little chunk of time off. I would take a long hike, go cycle touring or become a trained rescue diver. Years ago, in my cash-strapped mid-twenties, I ate my way around South America. I lived for my senses then, enrolling myself in an intensive Spanish speaking course in Cuzco in the morning and taking latin dancing classes in the afternoon. I loved the way the accent felt in my mouth in and beat under my soles.
