It’s there, through the cracks.

If you start to think the problem is “out there,” stop yourself. That thought is the problem. ~Stephen Covey

I don’t know Stephen Covey although he’s certainly famous enough. But I do know his words. Know them as an imprint on my soul.

For sometimes it doesn’t work out.

Whatever it is; it can be elusive and often downright impossible. And it’s in the not-working-out where the beauty lies.

It’s in the cracks on the facade, the slivers in the pavement, the tears in the fabric.

What beauty there is in the not-working-out, allowing for whatever is to be to be present.

To be noticed.

To be honored.

And, yes, even to be celebrated.
