One of my fissures became a gap after reading this post. Now, I can feel more clearly with the additional light. Thank you, Becky, Tom, Leonard and birds everywhere.
What a timely and encouraging message for today Becky! It reminded me of the power of the Japanese concept of “kintsugi”, which recognizes that breakage is not only a natural part of life it can also strengthen and beautify. Here’s a Wikipedia level discussion of this idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ . Well worth diving further into kintsugi in Makoto Fujimura’s great book “The Art of Making”.
Thank you, Becky. You have reminded me to remain steadfast. MLK didn't give up, why should I? While I breathe, I hope. And Cohen is from my hometown, all the more reason to look on the bright side.

Tim, thank you. I love the kintsugi concept and will definitely check out the Fujimura book! All the best to you.
As always, just what I needed to hear today. Bless you. Bless the cracks, and the light we let in.
Thank you, friend. I sure miss seeing you! Hope we can get some time together soon!
Perfect. Just perfect.

Yes, steadfast... we must be steadfast. We can do this.
I feel the cracks today. Cracks of loss, shame and guilt. Thank you for the reminder to let the light fill me up today and every day.
Thank you, this was helpful this morning!
This is what I needed to read this morning! Thank you for an uplifting and relatable piece that hits home on this day of remembrance.
