“Time heals all wounds and gives a scar to always learn from.” – Marty Coleman
No matter the wound, if it heals, a scar will remain. Funny enough sometimes the scar will be almost imperceptible when you are young, but as you age it will show up more an more.
I fell off the top bunk when I was 10, hitting a dresser on the way down and getting 10 stitches on my brow/bridge of my nose
area. That scar is now one of my age lines, wasn’t even there for about 25 years, then started to show itself. I like it because it reminds me of getting to stay up late that night after coming home from the hospital and watching Johnny Carson on TV. I didn’t learn much from it, but to keep the guard rail up on the bunk bed.
Other scars I learned a lot from. I was burned on 70% of my body when I was 18 years old. I have a LOT of scars from that little mishap. I am not always thinking of lessons when I think about them, but often I do.
Scars are physical memories and as such can teach us lessons from our lives, new lessons each time we consider them.
