Broken Things

Let us speak today of broken things....

...of rock slabs sliding their way to dust...

...and of trees that push up between rocks then die in their presence...

...of trees that escape their boundaries and are swept away to new places...

...or do not fall quietly in a forest, but loudly for all to hear...

...only to end up as something valuable, like firewood in a broken rock fireplace.
What things do you see that are broken, but end up being something else? Do you fix it, or repurpose it?  Are broken things necessarily bad? Or useless? What's broken in your life?

Nice food for thought. Brokenness is everywhere and what we do with it makes all the difference.

Brokenness doesn't always have to be a negative...
