"Scarred flesh has a beauty of innocence upon it. Scarred soul is a disfigurement of desperation carved into it. A person can be burned by the sun and live with the scars forever. Like a tiny patch of skin seared from a hideous sunburn on the back of a woman who smiles to the world. Some may see this woman as decent enough to look at. But, she never saw herself beyond that moment the sun destroyed her virgin skin. A person can be burned by the bitter words of ignorance and close their hearts forever. Like a child told they aren't worthy of care & comfort by a caregiver. That once discarded child may grow up and live beneath a cloak of distrust forever. Scars only heal, when we decide to find a new path of personal peace. It comes...it comes.." - A.H. Scott 1/3/12
