The Fault Lines Within

To all those heroes who evolved out of the fault lines within

Only the earth can tolerate being broken at too many fault lines; a human being just can’t” It’s something I learned and then gradually unlearned as time passed. I realised that we who materialised out of mother earth are equally resilient, equally patient, and though the fault lines that go through us create havoc, they cannot rip us apart. And while you are reading this, maybe you are probing the cracks within. I tell you they are right there, probably just well hidden, for we learn the art of concealing very early in life, maybe for fear that people might not understand, and even if they do, they might not appreciate. We forget the same people have their fault lines too. A crack runs deep, and even though it might not be visible on the top, it has the potential of immense destruction within. I deal with a different fault line in each of my stories, those that fook famillar and those that might not be palpable, but then earthquakes have different intensities, and so is it with human traumas.
