100% agree that we are made of "seams we test, tear at, and stretch" as humans. It's actually a really interesting metaphor, one I hadn't heard before. My interpretation of the seams is that it is more than just physical or emotional boundaries that are delineated, almost potential as well. Seams clearly mark the edges of something that is sewn, and as humans, it seems our natural inclination to move beyond any boundary we see is to chase more. So maybe when we are testing and tearing our seams, sometimes we are probing our boundaries to see how far we could go. Wow! What a thought-provoking poem! Beautifully written too; thanks for sharing!

Bethel Hew, this is such a thoughtful comment. Thank you for taking the time to read and share your thoughts with me. These seams marking potential is an excellent point; we are constantly looking to move the boundary or the goalpost in front of us and then fill in the newly made gap. Thank you again for being here, you are so greatly appreciated.

I love seeing someone’s seams…it reminds me we’re all so much of the same 🤍

Exactly this! It’s revolutionary to see the commonalities amongst ourselves instead of what we think separates us.
