Rising to A Greater Beauty

Sometimes our beauty is even more evident because of the wounds we bear. A wounded healer is one of the best examples of that. Enjoy!

In our woundedness
our healing, letting
the world enter,
beauty and grace
through the pain we bear.

the flaw becomes
the point of precious beauty,
the scar of love lost,
the bumps of moving on,
that spot,
which tells of adventure,
that swelling,
a new heart beating,
replacing
a broken sidewalk path.

In our wounds
we rise to a great beauty
living life,
allowing it
to shape us.
