Thank you, Hans. These thoughts have been rumbling around in my head for a long time. Reading and contemplating your words about how grief grows us somehow allowed them to gather and fall into place. I just love how that works!

Beautiful, as always, Rochelle. And your poetic language, the rhythm of your words, always enlivens the words in an ineffable way. I love the photo you included, too. Thank you.
