The Unbroken
There is a brokenness
out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness
out of which blooms the unshatterable.
There is a sorrow
beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.
There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness
we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside,
which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing.

Michelle, you have always been a woman who I have admired for your strength. That strength I have held in my eyes, my heart and my soul. The story you have revealed over the last few months has given insight into elements of powerful experiences from where you from and come through. Personal courage, critical inquiry, academic rigour, struggle within your quest to come to respect and love who “You” are… I hope we can find the time and place to meet over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee to continue with this exchange of shared love story. Hugs.
