Sudden silence
The death of a loved one is a sudden silence — one of those deafening silences that leaves ringing in
Resilient
The best faith is not the stagnant,
Vital

Beary much
There’s nothing like a mama-hug.
Weariest old work horse
“A horse loves freedom, and the weariest old work horse will roll on the ground or break into a lumbering gallop when he is turned loose in the open.”
—Gerald Raftery (1905–1986), Snow Cloud, 1951
Grief mends
Grief is a burden
but also a friend—
It is not grief that
wounds your heart
but it is grief that
heals your heart.

Do not take anything for granted — not one smile or one person or one rainbow or one breath, or one night in your cozy bed.
Brimming
Time pours his guests a cup of tea but the party is over before we know it.
