CRACKFINDERS

Crackfinders

I have always been a crackfinder.
My major professor used to say that about me.
She said I found ways of seeing the people
society had pushed between the cracks.
Matthew Fox taught me to look in the cracks
and see the beauty that grows within them.
Spending time seeing the beauty in the cracks
reminded me of those who lived below the surface
like in Beauty and the Beast.
What makes people beautiful
is not how they look on the outside,
but what is adorning the inside
and all the things in life that have
created cracks,
which bring their inner beauty and brilliance
to the surface.
What if we each became crackfinders
and looked for the beauty in everyone we meet.
The beauty in life is everywhere.
We can see it in the cracks and that which grows within it.
It is in the color of the flowers
and the leaves
and the smell of freshly cut grass
and all the things which scream out at you
and say I am a gift from the Divine
just letting you know I am here
hidden in a crack only you can see.

Grace

Grace

It is in the journey
to the core of our being
that we experience who we are, 
become aware of where we are
and discover parts of our being
we had forgotten or
no longer saw.
Grace is the balm
which heals the cracks
and gives us peace
Grace is what gives meaning
to that which we have forgotten,
which we consider  mundane,
and in which beauty ha emerged.
Grace is like the flowers
which grow in the cracks of the sidewalk.
We do not expect to find
beauty in the midst
of the cracks.
WE may not see those moments of grace
on a daily basis,
but when we travel inward
we see them
with a clarity
and brilliance
and stop
and give thanks
for the reminders of grace.
