I have always had an affinity for cracked and broken things - sidewalks, windows, old walls with peeling paint. Within such worn and battered things I know there is a beauty hidden inside, like the heart formed by these cracks and fissures. Within all of our chipped, worn and broken soul places there is beauty, and only great Love can coax it to the surface.

Ive really been feeling cracked and broken lately. I realize tho that I have been cracked and broken many times before and these are the times that help me be able to Love more, be more understanding of others' brokeness.
I love the Leonard Cohen song "there's a crack in everything, thats how the light gets in."

Keren, even though I know that love often flows in through the broken places, I'm still sorry that you've felt cracked and broken lately. Sending my love and prayers.
Thanks Anne I've got lots of glue, thanks to people like you!
I have a blog or two ready Ive been busy (yuk) maybe I'll post tomorrow. Ive actually finished 2, almost 3 paintings, and re-touching a 4th, and found some I had given up on that I have resurrected.
To me, being cracked and then allowing myself to feel the emotions and give into them, usually gives birth to creativity of some sort.
