“We all have deep and painful scars, some visible with others lurking within our shadow self. My guess would be the deepest of scars, those hidden from others, are strewn with ragged edges and steep plunging cliffs. It is these scars that shape us just as the gorge and canyon were shaped many millions of years ago. So very significant are the wounds responsible, that fantastic wells of strength must have been required by the natural world to overcome.”
