Fragility

Can be a beautiful thing. Is it something that comes to you later in life when you have a different understanding of your purpose, your position, your connection and context in the wider setting of the world? I am not certain. I only know now that it is something that leaves me feeling unsure. 

I recognise in others that fragility can be a beautiful thing. 
A breath of vulnerability perhaps. 
Humility. 
Availability. 
These are rich and alluring qualities with which I associate fragility. 
A chance occurrence to see an element of something real and raw in another. 

But when I feel myself drifting, slipping towards something other than strength, I resist this with all that I have. I don't know why, but for a long time I have struggled with the idea of showing weakness. 

Perhaps I am not comfortable with the idea that somehow I may be fragile. 

I think that showing vulnerability is a learned thing. 


And maybe, just  

Hidden Strength


Maybe this is the time to learn...
