The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 10 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
Chauncey must be learning good things at school. Here’s his latest insight:
0It occurs to me that we’ve been taught to believe a lie
That brokenness in our world (and ourselves) is absolute
The person you or I am cannot change
Scars, the lie says, are signs of a wound
Pain is to be feared, safety is to be protected
We ought to remain as intact as possible
It so happens that the truth is much more complex
Healing almost always comes with pain
Risk often opens the doorway to joy
Allowing yourself to be transformed is where life is found
Scars, the truth says, are the artwork of the healer
How hard it is to hear and trust the whispers
That in time, all will be made well
