Through the Cracks
Soul enters life from below, through the cracks,
finding an opening into life
at the points where smooth functioning breaks down.
- Thomas Moore
Sometimes, it seems,
the cracks develop (or we invite them)
because it's the only way
because it's the only way
we can break free of the "smooth functioning"
that is stifling us, causing us to ask
Is this all there is?
In traveling the lonely and rocky path, we find
the quiet place where we can listen to our soul.
the quiet place where we can listen to our soul.
When we are challenged, we have an opportunity
to grow strong at the broken places.
to grow strong at the broken places.

I love Thomas moore 's works. It has reminded me of squire I often used in counselling by Robert Bly
We are not here to remain whole
We are like the trees
the trees that are broken
learning to draw up again from the great roots.
I wish Happy days ahead for you meri
