When I have felt such grief, these words capture some of the feelings of being alone and singularly present with our humanity. That compassionate presence is so helpful.

Beautiful words that move me toward that.

Thank you.🙏

…breath still moving

Like water under ice

The hurt allowed

To be where it falls.

…If help comes at all

If it comes from anything

We might dare call divine

It is not distant

It is immanent—

A low fire buried under ash,

A stone warmed by the hand

Until it feels almost alive.
