The Daily Boost #423
The unbroken place
THE UNBROKEN Rashani Réa There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken, a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable. There is a sorrow beyond all grief which leads to joy and a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength. There is a hollow space too vast for words through which we pass with each loss, out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being. There is a cry deeper than all sound whose serrated edges cut the heart as we break open to the place inside which is unbreakable and whole, while learning to sing.

Wow. This feels like a timely, welcome poem to read and reread as I grieve the recent passing of my mother and move through Lent.
“There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
~ from Anthem 🎶, Leonard Cohen
