A Blessing for the Broken

“From all that is broken,                                           photo from Wikipedia

let there be beauty.

From what is torn, jagged,

ripped, frayed,

gather up every scrap,

every shred and shard,

and make of them

new paths,

doorways,

worlds.” –Jan Richards, In the Sanctuary of Women
