”When your legs no longer carry you. The ground has vanished beneath your feet, swallowed you deeper than you thought you could go.

And yet, in moments like these there is strength, and there is beauty. The quiet knowing of how much we matter to one another, the tender gravity of love.

A hug. A steadying hand. A lifting force that does not let you sink.

A glimmer of light trembling on the surface of water can, in time, illuminate everything, casting even from the deepest places a beautiful shadow behind us.”
