Piece of Art

 

"Every decision I make that harms myself

creates new leaks in this human vessel."

Susan Austin-Crompton 

As the rain pours down for yet another day, I coax light bearing thoughts to spread through my body, mind and spirit.  I imagine I am standing on the beach, feeling warm sand beneath my feet.  I visualize sunshine beaming down upon me, strengthening perspectives.  

Leonard Cohen, song writer/musician uses a wonderful lyric "There is a crack in everything.  That's how the light gets in."  So when unavoidable darkness begins to seep in, I avoid being caught in the negativity, and immediately seek the lesson the light attempts to shine upon.  

If I were a piece of pottery, I would show numerous crevices and crannies.  Imperfect repair simply contributes to the beauty of the unique piece of self.  I am not a damaged vessel, but an example of a well worn piece of art.
