...Forget the broken places...

"There is a place within you that has never been broken. No matter what fractures and cracks, no matter what seismic blows have battered your heart year after year after wearying year, within you there is something that grows strong, that stands.  It has never been laid low by storm, never drowned in flood, never frozen and cracked.  It has never burned to the ground, never faded away. ... Forget the broken places. Forget dragging those bags of dust around with you. The broken places had their shot. Do you want them in charge forever? Aren’t you bored with those 'not good enough' messages? Aren’t you done being the broken girl? Go to the source.  Find that still place unbroken in your being and let it speak." -Dianne Sylvan
