This line is sticking with me - "In trial and triumph, in exhaustion and embrace, in despair and delight, know this: you are held always in the warm embrace of Love eternal." A beautiful mantra to hold onto through the flux of life. Prayers for you, Chuck, and your family <3
KiKi, My thanks for this. I worked and reworked that bit until it felt deeper and more like song. And my sincere thanks for your prayers. I am deeply in need of them. -C
Thank you, Tina, I think the image is a bit inspired by Hildegard of bingen’s beautiful illumination of the cosmos, which shows a Divine figure holding the whole universe in motherly embrace.
Love carries it first--- yes, and yes.
Yes, indeed 🙏

This is for me in ways I do not yet understand, but I will know when I need to know, for love carries this, and me, and us.
Kristen, you are right that even (especially) when we do not understand, love carries us. Thank you.
Thank you for your poetic words, Kristen, beautifully said 🙏
Prayers for Chuck, his mother, you and Hannah. Grateful Chuck is recovering.
Lovely photos and poem. Thank you.
Bless you for your kind words, S Katherine 🙏
Die Ewige Liebe trägst es zuerst – ist für mich eine berührende Erkenntnis – danke dafür

Love eternal carries it first - This is a touching insight for me – thank you for that.
Greetings from Germany, Bernd Herbek
Hang on to the bits of your mothers that remain.... the core is there for now and that is a blessing... even if it feels like being "in between".
Yes, she is still there, and in good spirits, mostly. even if her lucid moments become more rare. Warm greetings to you, Anne.
Oh my, what a beautiful and sweet reflection. Love the pictures, too!
Bless you,Jeffrey, and thank you for being here with us.
The universe, she carries us in her heart. Love that!

She carried it first. Appreciate the she pronoun! Thank you.
Yes, Lorraine, I appreciate that also. Hildegard of Bingen speaks about this love as lady caritas.
Even now,
Even here…
💕
Even today… 🙏
"you are held always in the warm embrace of Love eternal." Beautiful ❤️🙏
What a soul wrenching time yet such beautiful words from you both. Thank you 🙏🏻
Both, Soul wrenching and beautiful makes for our life’s dialectic, doesn’t it, dear Cindy?
“Love eternal carries it first . . “❤️
Love this💜
