Tea, dog, flower, music, wooden, woven, lovingly carved, judiciously handled;
In this sweet air of shared silence
A place of respect
For you, myself, all, every thing.

cried a little

“We never master grief,” said my elder.
“Yet we choose to love and connect. Knowing and not following what the loss will be like. Because it’s what gives life meaning, enriches it to keep expanding.”

We do not choose to be born into this world yet that force or life —
