is that percieved “pain” actually love? is longing… love? maybe for those like myself that were raised to believ that pain is love it is perhaps a tad more difficult to define the line on the inside at times… i can wait with a feeling of longing long enough and when i do it does soften to the love that i now feel i know IS truly a feeling of … love, and that feeling doesnt, hurt.

love you (O:

Thank you for getting it, only a fellow tree lover would. My world is made brighter just knowing there are those like you.

“Happy?” she asked.

“Yes, because I realize now, more than ever, how much love I’ve felt because of Jim.”

Only such a depth of love could have produced such sadness. Only such a love of beauty could have produced your grief.

Allowing your sorrow is an appropriate response to your loss. And yes, allowing yourself to see that Beauty surrounds us everywhere and always is healing, and you are wise to reach for that comfort.

I’m sorry to learn that your beautiful catalpa has ended its journey in this world. It’s a loss for us all. I’m privileged to have known its beauty through the photo that graces your site. I hope you’ll leave it in tribute.

Hugs,
Susan

I know! what’s not to love and adore about Mary Oliver’s poetry and this poem in particular, it just sends shivers through me every time. So spot on and speaks to the very heart of that pivotal, life changing moment that we all have at one time or another.
