Brokenness is another way of reinventing ones self. Sometimes when the hard knocks of life shatter our plans for the future destroying our self-image, it helps to realize that this is not the end, but rather the beginning of new and greater things.
Beauty in the Broken
Look for beauty in the broken
For out of the shards of glass
Comes a beautiful mosaic
More spectacular than the original…
A healing of brokenness
Forever cemented together…
The pieces of anticipation
Broken, yet whole once more

The adage ‘break down is the way to break through’ comes to mind but of course you put it all together so beautifully – “a healing of brokenness”

Such a perfect metaphor for our brokenness and what we can can make of it. I’ve had the opportunity to work with broken glass in art class–many moons ago.
