(For the girl I lit the candles for)

I originally wanted to write about all the ways we were similar.  And yes, I also know we are different in other ways.

But while all those matter, I think this is more about brokenness and weakness. Relationships work when two people’s brokennesses fit together.  People need to be loved and accepted the most in their most broken and wounded state, not when they are at their best.

I know my brokenness is somewhat obvious or appears to be so.  Although I don’t think that people know me as well as they think they do.

I often wondered what yours was, but I could see, feel glimpses at times.  What Bono describes as “the shadow behind your eyes.”  It doesn’t matter. God uses broken sticks to draw straight lines.
