Kindle Notes & Highlights
A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more. Jeremiah 31:15 Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole. Derek Walcott, “The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory”
As Rachel’s body went slack, she thought of how long she had stayed strong, held firm, for her children. How long she had just been waiting for permission to let go.
