Lord, draw me nearer to the scratched situations in my life, the scarred places. Get me close enough to You to see the beauty in them.
One Thousand Gifts Devotional
Zondervan
And so I stand, a little sightless.
So I walk
Away on wheels, instead of legs, they serve as well.
And learn to speak with fingers, not a tongue.
The body is resourceful.
The body of a starfish can grow back its arms
And newts are prodigal in legs.
And may I be
As prodigal in what lacks me.
The Collected Poems
Sylvia Plath
The texture of the world, its filigree and scrollwork, means that there is the possibility for beauty here, a beauty inexhaustible in its complexity, which opens to my knock, which answers in me a call I do not remember calling, and which trains me to the wild and extravagant nature of the spirit I seek.
