grief

This has been a passage of time with so many bumps, bruises, and dents. It has felt much like sitting as a passenger and being hit out of the blue. There is the impact, shock, and aftermath.

Mar 14 waiting

waiting

Waiting feels akin to being in a dark room searching for a light switch.
Waiting is like catching sight of beauty from the confines of a speeding car.

Mar 1 hope

Helen Washington

be present, hope, paying attention

“If we pay attention or ponder long enough, most of life revolves around hope.
Often this can feel like trying to pinch a quickly ascending balloon string,
leaving us empty-handed, chins pointed towards the sky.”
