This is my third tattoo and the first one in pure words. It’s a poem by Margaret Atwood. After reading the poem for the first time back in college, I knew I would have it tattooed on me someday. (photo by keith dador)
The last two lines of my favorite poem by C.S. Lewis - As The Ruin Falls.
In this poem, Lewis talks about how, though in love he was, was only in love very selfishly and that this desire to have his personal needs met were the wrong way to love. Hence, he described the failure of a relationship as a good thing and therefore, he blesses God and the person as the “ruin” of the relationships fall because the pains taught him the most important life-lessons.
This tattoo is in not so loving memory of my best friend who walked out on my life and for the many important life lessons to come.
