The Tree Is Me
Haven't felt much like writing lately. (Ya think? OMG! I think I'm in danger of becoming a once-a-month blog poster, and I really wanted to do more than that. Ah well, these things go in stages, right?)
I did receive this message that I thought was something I really wanted to pass along. To all abuse survivors who fear they may have been completely broken, or at least twisted beyond recognition:
The Spiritual Divine
does not require
what you call
"perfect symmetry."
Look at the tree
that bends
from the whipping winds.
It is tangled and gnarled,
yet its beauty remains.

Hey girly, nice to hear from you! I was really bummed out that I didn't get to make my snow angel :-) LOL Yes I'm 28 and want to make a snow angel!
Love the picture and the saying. I think I'm a bit of a gnarled tree myself. Thank God beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-)

You're sweet. Thanks, Jade. Yeah, I feel like a bit of a Scrooge myself some these days. Especially since I've been sick with a nasty bug lately. But, it's not as bad as some years! ;P
Gee I never looked at it that way.I just thought of myself as broken beyond repair. Thanks for a new look.
You're welcome, Wanda. And I would never think of you as broken beyond repair. I guess it just goes to show that others see us differently than we see ourselves, huh?
((((((Safe hugs))))))

I really do believe everyone has an unbreakable light within. It's just a matter of finding it again;-)
