There is a part of us that longs to know
that even what's weakest about us is
still redeemable and can ultimately
count for something good.

Once again, we're on the same wavelength. I've been thinking about certain weaknesses of mine in just this way. It can be a struggle for me at times between working on changing those weaknesses and accepting and finding redemption in them. I still haven't totally worked that one out. This quote definitely helps me in that process.
ReplyDeleteNice drawing and sunflower. Fred Rogers is one of my heros!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful idea and yes, it is something we all wish for. It is a longing for full acceptance--mostly from ourselves. We have been told all our lives that certain parts of us are unacceptable. Those we have hidden away beneath layers of what we know will allow us to remain connected with others. But the deeper and more profound parts of us are relegated to that land called "unredeemable" from which few travelers return without much inner work. I love your sunflower Jenny. You have beautiful soul.

Like the quote, like the drawing, like the sunflower!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet - she is so precious. Beautiful post today Jenny.
ReplyDeleteBlack and white art speaks volumes. Your sunflower is so pretty. I love the yellow against the reddish background. Can't go wrong with Mr. Rogers, huh? Take care and enjoy your weekend.
