February: On Life

February 13

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Derek Walcott's Nobel lecture, "The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory."

We take so much for granted--family, friends, jobs, culture, even our lives. But it can all be broken in an instant. 

And when this happens, we are left with a choice: leave it where it lands to rot and return to the dirt, or pick up the pieces and glue it back together with love, ensuring we no longer will take it for granted.

What is broken in your life that is worth fixing?

• Reflection title: Can You Fix It?
• Creative inspiration: Derek Walcott, "The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory"
• Reflection Question: What in my life have I lost that I must find, what has been broken that I must rebuild?
