Lech Lecha: A Meditation on Going Forth in the Midst of Broken Pieces

Hands passing a small plant with soil against a green blurred background.

What falls apart.

Cannot be put back together.
 
But when the sameness crumbles.
Creation peaks through.
 
Daring us.
Daring you.
 
To reveal your uniqueness.
To remove your shell.
 
And make your inside,
Out. 
 
No, you will never be the same. 
 
But becoming always does triumph holding.
 
Because when you let go of the old pieces, 
You fall purposefully into who you are meant to be.
