Beauty
and strength
can be found
in

 brokenness
My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness.
 2 Corinthians 12:9
 
 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10


...even if my hand looks like a hydrangea or a beach.

weave me,  spinning
thread bare strands of life
as only you can
into silken beauty of brokenness

stretch me
far beyond what I could ever know
as only you can
adorn me with unwasted tears,
collected

lest I think I’m some kind of Rumplestiltskin
pretending to know the intricacies
of weaving gold from dust
as only you can

You keep track of all my sorrows.  You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.  Psalm 56:8

puzzled



"Forgiveness" Vatican Museum Rome, Italy
  Puzzled   
puzzle  pieces...
what  we  need
to understand the
broken heart
which  drives
the actions
choices
and  those  words

puzzle pieces...
what we need
to understand the fears
behind the tears
where cracks
and crevice start

the  pieces  will be  found
if  we listen  past  the  pain
to  fill  in  gaping holes
of   misunderstanding 
Peace
can  be  found
if  we surrender  all the pieces
that were never  meant  to  fit

His Peace 
fills  any hole
to make the picture
whole
