Hobbies and Metaphors

One of my hobbies is repairing and restoring old things. These things were once new, were then taken for granted, wore out and were thrown aside. Then, after the damage is done, people like me take them apart and try to breathe life into them.

Life works the same way – we take things for granted until they break, and it’s only when we try and put them back into working order that we realize how complex and delicate and wonderful they are. The Environment; friendships; our bodies; the heart.

My hobby is a metaphor.
