Broken things.

I have had to think a lot lately about things that are broken.

There are a number of things that can be broken. Physically and emotionally.

hearts
bones
dishes
families
a promise
relationships
homes

Some things can be repaired. But isn't there always a reminder to those repairs? A bone will never be like it was before it was broken. Some say it can actually be stronger. But then again .. it's easier to break that same bone once it's already been broken.

While there is mending ... yet still ... there is always a sign of where it was broken. A small fracture, is still a fracture.

Are some things broken beyond repair?

Maybe instead of saying something is broken .. can it be irrevocably altered?

Just spending a moment or two thinking about what broken really means to me. The word broken makes me think of something ugly. Perhaps it doesn't have to be ugly. Possibly I can move forward in my life ... knowing broken things can represent something divine.

.. kind of like making my life beautiful in a way it was made not beautiful...

It's all about perception.
