This is why it is so important for us to share our stories and the lessons we have learned from them with others. It is by the light of our own wounds that we can notice others’ struggles and be there to hold the light for them.
I am sure that you are familiar with the ancient Japanese practice of ‘Kintsugi’ (Golden Joinery): the fixing of broken pots with gold. Let's try something right now. In your mind, imagine that instead of fixing breaks/wounds with gold you use light instead. Imagine if for each type of wound, you could assign it a different light color of your own choosing.
Ok, now take a few imaginative steps away. Wow….How magnificent do we all look! A series of broken shapes and sizes uplighting the edges of our wounds like a series of coloured silver linings. We cast magical silhouettes which are framed by the dark. Just as a wound is the mark left by something that failed to stop us, our light is the light that refused to surrender to the dark.
In the words of my all time favourite band, Pink Floyd: “Shine on You Crazy Diamond…” ∎
