Fragile Containers
Fragile Containers
Such pressure
to appear the perfect egg
impressively whole
24/7
without blemish
instagram-worthy
but ultimately boring
and afraid.
Love comes
invites letting go
of pretending
to be real.
Cracks birth texture
underpainting depth
into who we are
as we allow
brokenness to shape us
space opens
a silence
making way
for more
for God
to come and dwell
releasing
our whole selves
awakening
coming to life
beyond what we judged presentable
loved
welcomed as is
belonging
jagged edges and all
brave
beloved
broken eggshells
fragile containers
of the Holy
are we.
