Softened...























This is the sunset that softened my bitter heart...

as my forehead leaned against the glass...

as he lay in the hospital bed to my right...

as I learned about myself.

That is all I can do...

as I breathe...

as I love...

Love.

  2. jenny - i remember a period of my life where i lived for two weeks in i.c.u. watching my (at-that-point-in-my-life) wife held together by wires and pipes and bottles and pumps. i was so amazed at the quality of love that was present in that experience and how heightened my awareness of the world was. a beautiful photograph jenny. steven

  3. In the most difficult moments breathing and opening to love is about all we can manage to do. Thankfully, it is enough.

    Lovely post, Jenny. Just lovely.
