"I don't need walls anymore,
now I know that it makes more
sense to just close doors." ~A. Shea
Read this bit of wisdom this a.m.
and felt my body go into a shudder.
Such growth born of sorrow!
A teacher of 40 years, I have seen
and known walls beyond the pale.
Heartbreak beyond measure!
One can only guess at the thats,
whys and wherefores of a kid's life
that would require such a defense
system.
Obviously, as adults we know of
people who live behind carefully
constructed walls. We can only
ponder the need, the reasons.
Most of us can't even imagine that
heart felt pain behind the walls.
Hurts my soul simply thinking
about it.
I pray we all can find some sane
ways of dealing with our sorrows.
