“There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken . . .
And a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength. There is a hollow space too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sounds
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside
which is unbreakable and whole . . .”
