cracks allow
the light in
and the pressure to escape
cracking jokes
can make others crack up
and teases a smile to crack open
we crack open
eggs to cook
our hearts to love
explore life’s cracks for they are character building
inducing authenticity
dVerse, 44 words on ‘crack’, De
is anyone else having troubles with WP … it’s just taken me 12 minutes to open the window to make a new post …. this has been going on for about ten days and is getting worse … it’s so slow I dread to come here, and I pay! Then 7 minutes to post it!
Very creative poem!!! 🙂 The ‘cracks’ in life do have a lot to teach us! In the end, the broken pieces mend together more beautifully than before. As you say, the trick is to let the light shine in…that is where the magic happens. 🙂

Yeah. Cracks are better than explosions or implosions for sure. And they make room for growth and change.

Actually, cooking is all it’s cracked up to be, even at the crack of dawn, so…
Freshly-cracked peppercorns are excellent on salads. All manner of other things, too.
And don’t forget syrup’s progression through the stages of candy-making: after we pass the soft ball stage, we move on to hard crack…
“What, you crackin’ wise?”
“No, Lieutenant, just trying to help with the investigation.”

YAY for cracks!!!
This is SO wonderful, Kate! “Just what the doctor ordered” for me for today!
You have reminded me that we need the cracks…if everything was smooth we would never learn anything, our character would not stretch and grow, and we’d be awfully egotistical, boring people. 🙂
HA! I love the artwork you paired with this! It’s just a great piece of art…so cool…but made me think about yet another crack! 😉 😮 😀 😛
HUGS!!! 🙂
PS…yep, been having WP troubles…especially related to lack of notifications on my reader’s page that people have put up a new post. 😦

I love the juxtaposition of the everyday mundane of eggs, and the depth of the heart, here:
“we crack open
eggs to cook
our hearts to love”

We’re cracks,
As misfits thus is our pattern,
Always forgiving but never forgiven 🙂
