Hi Open,

The nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty had a great impact on me as a child. I couldn't stand to see him shattered into pieces and so badly wanted to fix him and put him back together again, given all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't do that! I used this imagery in a talk recently with a local spiritual group about the magic of accepting our broken bits, rather than trying to fix them, so that we can become One with them and transcend beyond. I still have compassion for Humpty, but I trust that he's where he's meant to be and will emerge from his shattered self more whole.
