i am a jar of clay. i am fragile. it doesn't take much to crack, chip, or even shatter me.

stress at work.

chip.

money troubles.

crack.

marital strife.

crumble.

illness.

another blemish.

fear.

more chips.

loss of a loved one.

shatter.life chips away at me, piece by piece, until all that remains is a seemingly useless pile of rubble.

Hey there...

Jenn sent me here to read this post, she thought it was beautiful and that it would be good for me to read. Hope it's ok that I'm commenting because this sums up a favorite quote of mine said by Hemingway:

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.

wow. I'm gonna copy that on my blog - it's really good! Might even use it in a lesson I'll be teaching the teens next month (on sex before marriage).

I found you via the drama you experienced in the knitting comm and this was exactly what I needed to read tonight. Thank you.
