Broken crayons still color.....I knew this as a child!
Of course I would rather have the brand new, fresh crayons, pristinely
standing in their box.I saw pictures made with the broken crayons and they were beautiful, as good as if not better than the pictures created by the new ones. Still I would scheme and push to get to the front of the school line so I would have the new crayons, as if their sharp tips, fresh cover paper and unbroken length would make me a better artist/person. New crayons would somehow insure that I would be liked.
The broken crayons, my old comfortable friends, when I hold
them in my hand, their peeled papers and worn tips remind me of all the amazing colorful
pages they have already created and they are ready to do it again.
