“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” ~Shel Silverstein
“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
~Langston Hughes
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
~Emily Dickinson
“There is a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.”
~Leonard Cohen
“Life damages us, everyone. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other” ~Veronica Roth

Per the last quote: I wish we could mend each other across the divide of politics and societal issues. With God I know all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)–even this!

Oh, my. That for you Christian world is not the paradigmatic world of “no, you can’t” that these statements resist, that for you they are instead fundamentally compatible (I presume) – maybe why I can stand to read your Christian blog.

Thank you, Heather. While it’s true that our Creator demands everything from us, it’s only that He may supplant our brokenness with His perfect love and peace.
