Today's Echo -- Damascene

"Damascene reminds us to look at our experiences as threads that can be patiently integrated into our character, to strengthen and refine who we are." -- ShadowsPub

The threads we integrate into our character are not all the same size. Some will be larger and woven to strengthen while others will be small and thin. It's the difference between experiences shaping who we are and painful memories that will occasionally surface, but don't direct our lives.
