Hi everyone,
We lost another family member last week, and there’s been illness as well. It’s been a tough summer.
Thankfully, that is not the only part of the life cycle we are faced with. We look ahead to a wedding later this month, and births in both the fall and spring. I grasp onto the anticipation of these life-affirming events to help get through the pain.

muted
by grief
and worry.
even the tears
are trapped
in their ducts
as if holding out
for better news.

Oh, sorry to read that. Beautifully put to words with this poem.
Sending you strength.
