Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go. ~ Herman Hesse

So there i was just scrolling through someones tumblr, and i came across this and i just stopped. It caught my attention for a long time. I noticed every piece breaking, in slow motion so clearly and the one thing that came to my mind was that moment when your heart breaks. When you can feel it drop and break into little pieces when you hear something that you wish wasn’t true, the truth that you have made yourself not believe, read something you wish hadn’t, or seen something you wish you hadn’t.

     It has been a heart-breaking week for our family.  Dean was a lovely, kind, funny, good man.  This week we celebrate him.  He touched so many lives.  Next week, next month, next year, we begin to pick up the pieces and find a new normal.
