The beauty that emerges from woundedness is a beauty infused with feeling; a beauty different from the beauty of landscape and the cold perfect form. This is a beauty that has suffered its way through the ache of desolation until the words or music emerged to equal the hunger and desperation at its heart. It must also be said that not all woundedness succeeds in finding its way through to beauty of form. Most woundedness remains hidden, lost inside forgotten silence. Indeed, in every life there is some wound that continues to weep secretly, even after years of attempted healing. Where woundedness can be refined into beauty a wonderful transfiguration takes place. ↗

You don’t have to do things perfectly for them to be meaningful and worthwhile. Whatever you manage to do or create is wonderful and important and worth sharing because it came from you. It’s a piece of your soul and an expression of your spirit, and no matter how well it’s done, it’s valuable. ↗
