Broken

While we were at the beach this weekend, I did as I always do, picked up sea shells........as I bent down to pick one up in particular, Rick laughed and said this is your blog.  I wasn't sure what he meant, but he looked at me and said, that shell is broken, you do that you know, you gravitate to the broken.

Then I understood.........yes, my blog is Transformation Information, yes I am a yoga therapist at an addiction center, yes, I am the one my friends call when they need to talk, ........it's ok.  There is beauty and perfection in the broken......actually we are all broken in some way.  Broken hearts, broken spirits.......some are just way  more broken than others.......some manage to mend and go ahead with their lives, some don't or can't.

I think our breaks, our cracks, our scars do create beauty.......that is the beauty that shines in our eyes, that permeates from our very existence,that creates the love and kindness toward our fellow human beings.  I know, some of us allow the breaks to harden, to callous us......sometimes we think no one else has suffered like we have or that we don't deserve our breaks and cracks.  But, in the end, no one is smooth and perfect, each of us has been broken by life at some point, scarred by heartache and misery.  If we could only realize that is life's way of creating beauty within us, that our incredible being of light shines even brighter because of the scars and jagged edges .   So it becomes important that we release our obsession with perfection, our misguided perceptions of it, and see that broken is really life's perfection.......broken is the formation of who we become, of who we are and who we will be.
