Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Beautiful Broken Body

Softly I turn towards myself

Gently I speak

To each part of felt weakness

To the aches and pains

The places that remind me

I am human

I am not home yet

I am constantly carried

I embrace these places

Showing them

The tenderness and care

They crave

They are not my enemy

They are my wisdom

My teachers

Oh wonderful body

Broken and tired

I hear you

I see you

I thank you for speaking

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
