From broken to blooming. Journal.

Journal page challenge.

'From broken to blooming', square journal.


A journal page for this week's France Papillon challenge, which was 'broken'.




I chose a garden metaphor: pruning a rose bush for re-growth.

Some of our life experiences can leave us 'cracked' or 'broken' in various ways.  Sometimes, what seems to be totally broken can later be seen to have been just a severe pruning to encourage new growth; growth in unforeseen and new directions.  An unexpected, but beautiful flowering.

It brought up a horrible experience of mine, which at the time,  I thought would never pass....but which  I eventually got through.  It was a bit of a testing week to work on this page.  I am glad the pruning led to a flowering rose bush in Spring.



Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Bye for now.....
