Sometimes in the heat of suffering we turn to ritiuals and spiritual means, Hoping that sage,prayers or Meditation will burn and turn away the pain. But not every wound can be cleansed by smoke or whispered words. Some scars are too deep, too raw, the kind that no amount of sage can soothe. Those are the ones that linger, etched into your very soul, Like a reminder of everytime you've been torn apart. And when the rituals and prayers fail, You're not left with healing, but with broken pieces fragile, shattered and scattered. Thats when the real challenge starts;
Learning how to continue living with what remains
