Quel Dommage

A   L   O   H   A  !

" Children show scars like medals.

 Lovers use them

 as secrets

 to reveal. 

A scar is what happens 

when the word

 is made flesh."

Leonard Cohen 

" Every stress

 leaves an indelible scar,
 and the organism pays
 for its survival
 after a stressful situation
 by becoming a little 
older. "

Hans Selye 

" Adopting the right attitude 
can convert a negative stress
 into a positive one. "

Hans Selye 

" If you want others to be happy, 
practice compassion.

 If you want to be happy,
 practice compassion. "

14th Dalai Lama 

" I see the potential 
for a new world
 being born in front of me
 and all around me,

 and I feel the only way
 to bring that potential 
into being 
is to know myself. "

Each of us humans

 has been damaged.

scraped knees, hurt feelings,

and more.

Each one of us.

There is:

 Unknown Damage,

Unacknowledged Damage,

 UNDERSTOOD Damage.

Some cannot see

their own wounded places;

Unknown to themselves

they fester

 into more damage-

to themselves

and to others.

Some of us, and I am one,

have run from our scars.

Thinking we needed to be special,

Perfect,
 to be worthy

we run from our
 Unacknowledged. 

To look, to accept, to just

BE

 with our damaged selves

allows ever-polite 
Compassion

to arise.

Emptying ourselves

of excuses

has welcomed her.
