Maybe we are made for times like these, I thought to myself. Maybe this dance of delight and tenderness is exactly what is needed. We don’t look away. See, the snow is gone. Feel, the air is too warm. But look, the sky, have you ever seen such beauty? Feel, my arms, this love. See, your brother’s grin. We are here, suspended in tender delight.
"“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.” - Robin Wall Kimmerer

Thank you for your words as always.
Tender delight. May we embrace what is exquisitely, painfully precious.
