DS163 Broken Glass

It's a new day. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is the Daily Spark. Broken glass. Standing out here, there's a vase out here on the deck. And, uh, not sure how, but the whole side of it is basically shattered. Broken glass everywhere. And I'm looking at this, and you know, your first reaction when something breaks like that, especially broken glass, is, oh my gosh, be careful, don't step on any of the shards because you're going to cut yourself if you're barefoot. Your first reaction to broken glass is a little bit of caution and terror. But I've also seen people take broken glass and make things, beautiful things out of it, like a mosaic, mosaic, uh, top of a table or some kind of artwork. So when you first look at it, what is your thought on broken glass? Do you find the terror and the caution, or do you see the possibility of making something else out of those broken shards? We can use that analogy at a lot of things that we look at. Our first reaction to things a lot of times is just a knee-jerk defensive reaction or fear for— fear reaction, but it doesn't have to be. If we take a moment, take that breathe for a second and try to find a positive, even things like broken glass can be turned into something beautiful. So think about that today, and if you run across some broken glass, of course be careful, but also be curious as to what that broken glass can become. Join me again here tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
