More than Words
Words spewed forth
Carelessly
Selfishly
A sausage string
of
consonants and vowels
Syllables ring
In the ears of a child
Decoding
Fragmenting…
…Syntax error alert !
Naive cognition fails to compute
Yet
Intentions seep
From veiled meanings
Insidiously
Irreparably
Crafting the scar-tissue
Around the Heart
of
Self
Words spewed forth
Cutting
Wounding
Enmeshed in a tangle of lesions
Clotting pathways
To
the Soul
Colleen DuBois ~ Reflections of Me 
My eyes are filling with tears just a couple of hours later. It’s a bloody chorus going round the world. How lucky your daughters. From such Mothers come generations of women that stand strong and tall. Daughters who tell the truth with their heads held high and their shoulders back! Huge!!!

It’s also my intention to heal that scar tissue around the heart… you spoke of this so eloquently.
As a mother also (to an almost 4 year old son) share your desire to be a force of light…
Thanks again, Colleen for such an insightful post.

It is sad, Colleen, and you’ve pointed
out just why it is wrong and unjust.
Some people don’t know when to
shut up, and they seem to get a kick
out of shaming and blaming another.
Scars protect, but they also divide,
Some wounds never completely heal.
God bless you on your journey towards
healing the remaining sore spots within.

Thank you Sara, Belle and UT.
I am so proud to have broken the cycle….a feat that some people sadly never manage to accomplish, thus perpetuating the generational dysfunction.
