Shards of stories that were trying to become
but didn't quite make it.
They were laying in the dirt trying to bury
themselves for years.
I gathered them up and realized that they
told of human pain and endurance,
of love and loss.
Their broken pieces held endless secrets
of life's journey........ and still they stare out at
us with familiar eyes.
I honor our humanness with this show.
I place them on pedestals they never made it to.
No more shame for their imperfections,
I honor them instead.
