"I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived."
―Chris Cleave, Little Bee
The scars the eye can see and the scars only the heart perceives.
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely. We survive.
ReplyDeleteLove.
I love this so hard.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful thought and so very true.
ReplyDeleteThis is so accurate...and I too have grown to love my scars, even those of the heart.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, all the scars -- the ones we see, the ones we don't -- all things of beauty. We have survived.
ReplyDeleteLoved the book. Loved the quote. Beautiful and so true.
ReplyDeleteAmen. And let's not keep it a secret.
ReplyDeleteBattle scares (of all kinds) are definitely part of life. I choose to believe they build character. The experience is often life changing. Susan
ReplyDeleteAmen!
