WHAT DID YOU SEE FIRST?

An out of focus shot
Scabby branches
Diseased leaves
Thorns
Bad pruning
A weathered fence
OR
A green shoot
With a promise
of New Life?

“Let someone love you
just the way you are –
as flawed as you might be,
as unattractive as you sometimes feel,
and as unaccomplished
as you think you are.
To believe that you must hide
all the parts of you that are broken,
out of fear that someone else
is incapable of loving
what is less than perfect,
is to believe that sunlight
is incapable of entering
a broken window
and illuminating a dark room.”
