I don't know about you but I love quotes. Maybe it has to do with the fact that my mom constantly was quoting scripture to me growing up (sometimes, I will admit I really didn't want to hear it!). There is a quote that I wrote out a few years ago and I have moved rooms several times, between college housing, home, to my apt., then back home, this quote still manages to resurface on my wall wherever I plant myself. As with most people, there are a lot of life things happening and sometimes it clouds my vision or makes things appear dark. This quote on a tattered and folded piece of paper sticky tacked to my door has inspired me over and over again...
"Do not say that the darkness of the prison has shackled you, for your shackles are wings-wings of flight into the heart and soul of humanity. And the gate of your prison is the gate into the heart of the universe."
-George Matheson, Streams in the Desert
Everyone struggles and it is often through these struggles that we find a place to connect and learn from each other. I hope whatever hardship you may be enduring you know you are not alone... maybe this darkness is a part of our broken yet beautiful humanity.
