"Mended Life"

If we are lucky, we are born with healthy bodies,
Perhaps into a wealthy family and then,
Life happens.
We become broken.
Our hearts are shattered.
Maybe due to illness, or the death of a
Loved one.
Maybe you were cheated by your business
Partner, or your Life partner.
Maybe your child or parent was murdered.
Perhaps a storm destroyed your home or
Your business.

Lives become shattered, the question is….
Do you fill the cracks with the blackness of
Remembered pain and despair?
Do you
“Rage against the Fates”,
Resentment
Filling you with spite?
Are all the gaps left when someone leaves
Now only filled with hopeless longing for
“The way things used to be”?
OR….

Like the ‘Japanese Bowl’, do you fill those
Spaces with the Warm, Golden light of
Remembered Love?
The Cool, Silvery Moonlight of learned
Experience, all held together with the
“Super Glue” of
Wisdom?

This , I believe, is how we should live a
"Mended Life".
A peaceful life.
We must carry on, we must continue,
AND
We must be happy as we do so.
Carry on, Be HAPPY, continue to love your
Life, yourself and those around you.

“Mended Life”
