This week’s prompt is: Redemption Song

“any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.”

― Clive Barker, Days of Magic, Nights of War

“Was it you or I who stumbled first? It does not matter. The one of us who finds the strength to get up first, must help the other.”

― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“Contrary to what we may have been taught to think, unnecessary and unchosen suffering wounds us but need not scar us for life. It does mark us. What we allow the mark of our suffering to become is in our own hands.”

― Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions
