Galaxy Of Scars

Few people seek scars...

- From teenage acne, thanks to too much sugar and too little washing
- From a spot of hot wax during my "Star Wars figure arsonist" days
- From surgery to remove a cyst
- From thirty years of basketball scrapes

Even if we don't choose them, they needn't create dismay... they remind us who we are.

- Through the lessons of good diet and hygiene
- Through care in dangerous situations
- Through the mindfulness of how frail life is
- Through the thankfulness for recreation time and good health

Ah, the mental scars too... those small yet powerful moments that teach lessons through mistakes.

We grow when we acknowledge them, remember what we've gained... and resist the urge to pick at them in body or mind.
