How can you see life without
first being broken?
It’s amongst the shards of yourself
that you find your gifts
-hidden
below layers of hubris
below layers of smiles
below an untrained mind
just waiting
for you

Being broken does provide that perspective and understanding and makes it possible for one to discover things that one wouldn’t have found otherwise. Very wise and very well said!

How important it is for us to experience both the good and the bad, success and failure, and to expect that euphoria will also be countered with sadness, and not to protect our children from realising this.

Breaking apart to find strength, talent, spirit…I really like that idea. Life is walking on glass.

I like this Vivian, a lot! Much truth – we gotta peel the onion, and deal with the tears! Self-archaeologicalize… 🙂
