SOME HEALING THOUGHTS

A few days ago I came across a poem by L R Knost, contemporary writer. The words are simple, the thoughts profound. If you're in a place where Life is looking gray and grim, this short poem may speak to you.

 * * * * *

When life hits hard

and you break in the soft places,

grow, love.

Grow.

Grow into the cracks.

Fill them with plaster,

layer upon layer

of tenderness, love, and intention.

Like casts on broken bones,

steadying, supporting,

letting time heal.

Knitting a new you,

from pieces of the old you.

Still you, but different.

Still good, but changed.

Still scarred, but stronger,

wiser, braver, you.

       L. R. Knost
