Elements of Life: A Journey of Healing and Love

By Chris Pepple

These poems are written from a place of healing and hope and reflect my journey from brokenness to healing, from uncertainty to hope. Life and healing occur on many levels-physical, emotional, and spiritual-and in many stages. These poems examine the elements of life that we can claim as common ground when we work to strengthen ourselves and to build communities, bringing healing and hope to ourselves and to others we meet along our journey.

There are elements of life that we all share-that can bring us together as we find common ground. We can recognize our own journeys in these words and celebrate the healing we have found or are working towards. This poetry reminds us that there is hope and love even in the midst of challenges and uncertainty.

As we explore our identities, as we discover new talents, as we break chains of abuse, as we rethink our faith journeys, as we uproot ourselves and move on from what has been familiar, as we build new tables to share with others, we can acknowledge the journey and celebrate progress as we move forward and heal and grow.

Sometimes we feel as if time stands still while we are searching for answers. At other times, we find a strength that brings us into a moment of recognition of the new person we are becoming. Find yourself in these words and celebrate who you are or who you are becoming.
