"Our
life is always
all right. There’s nothing
wrong with it.
Even if we
have horrendous
problems,
it’s just our life.
We are continually
battered and
redeemed,
often by
our own hands,
and our strength
comes when
we recognize the broken
pieces of
our lives. Recognition
does not necessarily mean
repair, but
rather learning
how to live amongst
the rubble.
We cannot
go back and
keep ourselves
from our misfortunes
and bad decisions.
We can only put
one foot in
front of
the other, carrying
our knowledge, and remain
open to
whatever
is next."
