Cut of Grace
Women. I’ve always said we are the backbone of the world. No disrespect to men, but it is a time honored tradition really, to be the great healers that we are. Through the ages we have been given, accepted, and met the challenge of being the healers, the nurturers, the care givers. We heal the broken and bruised. We soothe, smooth, comfort and offer solace when it can be found nowhere else. From injured tots, to a dying loved one, we say special words, kiss broken skin and retell stories; the magic may be in our voice, our hands, our hearts or simply our smile and presence. We carry an unseen basket of those things, hopes, wishes, and more, as an arsenal in the battles we fight, whenever we are needed to heal, mend, or bring tattered edges together again. We carry those baskets with us everywhere. Sight unseen, ready to be opened and used at any given moment.
