Cracks

Cracks do we know that words and language create cracks..and we might be held hostage to words and language without knowing their propensity to crack.. it is the crack of an eggshell an eggshell of whiteness allowing life to emerge.. whiteness appears to divide shaping the world and us with distinctions galore.. we work with distinctions as each finds her own.. yet..within each journey we are invited to observe once more a white eggshell and to notice how words seem to crack what cannot be cracked.. then to notice.. cracks appear and disappear demonstrating for all the strength and weakness indeed the beauty of our words... And..don't forget Leonard Cohen: Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) That's how the light gets in
