How the Light Gets In

I had placed my trust in something that failed. I was devastated and heart broken, so I asked for help.

Help came in kind, wise words—through art created by Ash Almonte—through one of Richard Rohr’s daily meditations that mentioned the Japanese art form that repairs cracks in ceramics with gold. I followed every lead, opening my heart for truth and love in every message. The process led me to this scripture: “Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” It also led me to these words by Leonard Cohen:

Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.

You write it: What do you do when you’re heartbroken?
