Leonard Cohen, in his song "Anthem" says this: "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."  We're all broken. All of us. Most of us resist exposing our brokenness and have learned to cover it up by fighting, fleeing, or freezing in one form or another. If Cohen is right (or we're at least willing to experiment with his idea), then exposing our brokenness is how we can let the light in. It's also how the light that is inside us gets out.
