Healing Stars

The niches where life’s cruel claws have scratched and torn through surface skin draw blood from veins, where pain leaks through, and trace the places you have been. A surface coat of ‘happy paint’ can’t cover up your precious scars – in sharing yours with all of us, your wounds can shine like healing stars.

your wounds can shine like healing stars.
