RE: This patch of scrub is all echidna dreaming: Oh, the scars we wear!
what a lovely picture! I'm glad you liked it, and thanks so much for commenting! I'm happy with my scars too - they are the story of who I am. But I'd hate to burrow and hide from the world because of it, dont you think?
I agree with you @riverflows Our scars strengthen us and build character if we allow them too. They’ve been bestowed upon us for various reasons and at the time of infliction our inclination is to cower in self protection. When the pain is at its peak we use the thought of revenge to give us a temporary high but that does no one any good. Then there is the matter of self inflicted scars. They are sometimes the hardest to heal from because we are much less likely to acknowledge our responsibility for them. Life is an interesting journey especially if we are brave enough to move forward instead of becoming paralized by the scars. 😊
