Of her life, and weaves them gratefully
Into a single cloth –

“So, time heals. Mostly. Sometimes carelessly. And in unsuspecting moments, the pain catches and reminds one of all that's been missing. The fulcrum of what might have been. But then it passes.

Scattered clothes. Empty bowls. Rotting fruit. Passing time. But still life in all its beauty and complexity.”
