Making Omelets
I turned the wrong direction. My arm brushed
against something solid on the counter, which slid
to the floor. I heard the cracking sound and knew
the eggs were broken. You cannot repair broken
eggs. You must either count them a total loss and
pitch them in the garbage, or create an omelet.
Life is like those eggs. Some things get broken;
bones, treasures, hearts - often by accident, but
sometimes by design. There’s no turning back.
We can’t always mend or restore parts crushed
in the calamities of life. But, we can search
within ourselves and find the will to survive.
