Sometimes we need to rip off the wrapping to see inside. Sometimes we need a breakdown before a breakthrough - The darkness of womb before the light of birth, Reborn. If only every tear down preceded a rebuilding but sometimes, nothing is put back together. Sometimes, the egg shells still lie scattered from the fall. Less a rebirth, than a shifting of sands - blown distant singed by sun dry solitude. A breakdown, tearing off the pretty paper that held the gift together, exposing the reality and rawness of solitary self. Reminding of mortality, fragility... grace. Sometimes, we can patch and repaper Sometimes, cover, take-back, lick and stick torn tissue back to form... No longer a strong solid support but a mature, majestic, pieced together mosaic.
