I like this Meri...it reminds me of the Leonard Cohen quote, everything has a crack, it's how the light gets in.

Have a wonderful weekend

What inspiring words. Like the cracked water jug. The side of the road going to the well is bare, coming down the side of the road is strewn with flowers. Blessings
