Thank you. Truth – no matter its context – always has its own beauty, doesn’t it?

Thank you, Kristen. Yes, so much complexity – and beauty in the midst. Definitely, I know much light in the midst of darkness. And I am deeply grateful.

So beautiful, Julianne: the metaphor and the gift of who spoke it to you. Thank you. Indeed, your father was right.

This is a beautiful post. Truer words never spoken…we live them, every single moment.

I am moved by Greenspan’s words and by your reactions to them. Such powerful reminders that we are not defined by any single moment or emotion. We are matrices of matrices, with different sparks firing at different times. May you soon find the light to complement the darkness.

When my Dad agreed to teach me to ice skate he told me, “You will never learn to skate unless you expect to fall down. But while you are learning, I’ll be here to pick you up.”

It took me years after his death to catch that the second part was as important to him to give me as the first. Pushing off into the dark, the fearful is somehow easier when I believe there is love to help me up after a fall.
