Our lives are tears stitched into art. —Michelle Liew’s Tattoable of the day

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

The journey of life is like reconstructing a torn tapestry-one that moves from the challenge of isolation but is resilient, filled with hope and love.

Capture this spirit along with me as you read this Haiku chain.

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

A torn tapestry

Threads unravelled, flung askew

Art now discarded

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

A reworked canvas

Small knots hard to unravel

Tenacious to cut.

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

Rewoven canvas

Firm fabric carefully stitched—

Solid cloth secure.

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

Reassembled cloth

Fabric formed from torn pieces

Threads shining anew.

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

Refitted canvas

Threads restitched with nurturing hands

Cloth reworked with care.

✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️🧵

Torn threads now rebound

Holding new cloth in its place—

Tears stitched into art.

    This is so gentle and beautiful! I love the way it carries the quiet triumph of healing in a way that feels both fragile and strong.💖

  • An excellent sequence, I may try and get an entry into this challenge
