As the late and great Leonard Cohen said “There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in”

We meet people along this path of pain. Together we become Kintsugi, the golden crack repair. Sharing your poetry and thoughts are pure gold. Thank you 🙏 ☺️

Ooo, these words are powerful…his, and yours. We would never choose our pain…but in reality, that’s where its power to transform us lies. Because ultimately, we must bow to it…and then we see it for what it is, an opportunity to yield and soften. Lovely stuff ♥️

You said it beautifully, Esther. We need to bow. 🙏

As someone who has lived with chronic pain for years (both physical and emotional/mental), I have learned that there is growth and strength, and yes, understanding, in learning to live with it, in it, and to let it teach me. I am still learning that there is beauty to be found. Love, Virg
