The Japanese have a word for making broken things whole again
For embracing the flaws and honoring what is to come
How weak spots can become stronger than before
How missing pieces can be reunited by something beautiful
How what could have (should have) been tossed aside
Can be useful – beautiful – even stronger than it was
April is National Poetry Month, and I am going to spend this month sharing some of my favorite poems and poets, as well as some original poetry of my own. I cannot guarantee something new every day, but a concerted effort will be made. Because words are power. And words strung together create more and more power. And with that power comes inner strength. With that power comes the courage to share our stories. With that power comes more connection, more community, and more power.
