How to address a burden:

1. Move it to where you are.

2. Unfold it and look at it from all sides. This will probably have to happen more than once.

3. Think about how to change its shape. Reliable methods are cutting, sewing and stacking.

4. Think about how to change its behaviour. Something long and thin moves through the world differently than something squat and dense. It may also become more resilient.

5. Show it something of yourself. It can give as well as receive.
