Meanings

One of my favorite bowls was broken a day or two ago.

Beyond any reasonable repair.

I gathered the pieces.

Maybe this chipped object could be reshaped.

Made anew in a different configuration.

The pieces are still lovely, just a bit worse for wear.

The new creation might become even more than the old one ever could have been.

This break was a eureka moment for me.

A new direction that I hadn't completely formed in my head became quite clear.

I am beginning to take the steps toward change.

Broken may mean split, torn, rent or cracked.

A break could be an accidental misfortune. 

However a break is also a stroke of luck,

an advantage, chance or opportunity.

This little slip from the hand to the floor is just that.

I am going to take advantage of this break to try something different.

We are all broken in places, but those breaks can be forged into a 

new configuration of the person we were. 

A plan, a model, a framework for something better.

Take advantage of the breaks life puts in your path.
