Brokenness

One of my favorite places of stillness on our campus is the Mays Chapel garden, a small garden partly covered by a canvas canopy.  In its center is a tree with an old tangled wind chime hanging from a lower branch.  Ferns and other leafy plants and bushes encircle the tree, and hide several ceramic sculptures who call the garden home.  One of the sculptures is a small angel with a broken wing.  There are times in my life I am stuck in the pain of feeling broken, and can’t seem to let it go.  The silent stillness of the garden helps me lean into my brokenness, connecting me deep inside to the wholeness of life.  Lean into your brokenness and let go.
