brokenness

I've been thinking about how we are all broken. And that our brokenness can leave jagged edges that can hurt others when we are lucky enough that they get close to us anyway. But that it's still what it's all about - that much as we might want to fix other people's brokenness, so that their sharp bits don't hurt us or them, that's not our remit. We don't HAVE to stay of course, if we keep getting caught on the jags. And I think what I'm aware of more than ever is how important it is to recognise that lots of people are living with their own brokenness and that of others in their lives, so we all need a whole lot of generosity and encouragement and delight in what we all manage.
