Journal prompt: Letters the broken parts of you
Close your eyes and imagine you are sitting in a beautiful garden, its full of flowers, butterflies, cool grass under your feet, warm sunshine with a bit of a cool breeze. In this garden you are sitting across from a familiar face. You know this person, it is you.
You suddenly realize it is the version of you that has held your pain, that endured the suffering, and this version of you is sullen, the light has left your eyes, your body is no longer whole but in broken pieces; each piece representing an event, a loss, a memory of trauma.
The observing version of you is holding a needle and gold thread. This thread represents love, gentleness, forgiveness towards yourself, learned lessons and strength. The needle is your resiliency and your fight.
I want you to imagine that with each stitch, you are not only putting yourself back together but are recreating and building a version of you that you might already be OR want to be. This Version of you is strong, healed, joy filled, and at peace. Now open your eyes.
Write down what you would say to this broken version of you as you are stitching?Â

we kinda did that but in another way. we painted bottles broken into many pieces. then we painted a stain-glass window made out of all them pieces. we then wrote groups of our alters on each piece of the stain glass window. we could not write each name as we have big system. but really helped to see what broken can be made into something beautiful too.
we also did this within a garden but in a deeper spiritual way. love how you said this above as yes what broken can be put back together, in that a new creation of ones life being whole looks different for each of us too.
