“Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.”

Maybe the way you seem to feel safe with your arms in mine means I’m not all broken maybe there’s something good inside.

My trust in you is broken and I am plunged into despair for the animals.

Broken wings are a sign of struggle and strength.

We are made of all those who have built and broken us.
