Twisting
“Far from being a progressive process, grief moves by turns and spirals, a twisting path because it is not always clear or orderly. Grief is the least linear thing I know.” Jan Richardson, Sparrow

Winter light
I am yearning for snow…fresh and untouched, a winter wonderland of stillness and peace that covers all the pain and grief of the past months.

Start close in
Start close in,

start with the first
thing
close in,
the step
you don’t want to take. ~ David Whyte
