Description
This reflective essay draws parallels between supported spindle spinning and personal recovery from a severe stress injury, exploring how both require balance, resilience, and continuous connection to internal and external forces. It discusses the technical and emotional aspects of spinning delicate fibers on a support spindle, while also using it as a metaphor for rebuilding life with community, mindfulness, and self-awareness.
