One of my favorite songs is “Fragile” by Sting.  The main line of the song says, “We forget how fragile we are.”  In a world that asks us to show how strong we are and what we overcome, the value of our fragile nature as human beings gets lost sometimes.  We see fragility as weakness and being less than.  But what if it is our fragile nature that allows us to connect with one another because we have our defenses down.  We do not see separateness because in the moments offragileness there are no walls to keep us from connecting with each other.  I know for me, I can sit in myfragileness because I know that with me is a God that has all power and all strength.  I have the freedom to be weak because it is then that I can be used by All That Is to do things that I could never do no matter how strong I am.  I didn’t understand this until I reached the moment or moments when I stood before God humbled in the inadequacy of my human strength.  The irony is that I thought by admitting defeat to my way of being and doing things was the end of me.  Instead it was the beginning of a deeper relationship with God and with myself and with all those around me.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to noticing the power that comes from our fragile natures and use it as an opportunity to connect with others. Make it a great one!  Peace ~Colleen
