This photo of Sage was taken at the Birth Center just before we took him home. I remember being so amazed by his beauty, his little features so proportional, his skin so unbelievably soft. I couldn't stop looking at him. I remember thinking I finally understood what the word 'miracle' meant.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. - Rumi
It was extremely interesting for me to read this post. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to them. BTW, why don't you change design :).
How did the rose Ever open its heart And give to this world All its beauty?
It felt the Encouragement of light Against its being.
Otherwise, We all remain Too frightened.
-Hafiz
About The Encouragement of Light
I started this blog in March 2008, days after an auto accident that killed my 9 month old son (Sage) and my dad (Dennie) and left me with serious injuries, including a broken pelvis. I write to share my exploration of life after losing my child and to process this experience. My husband, Michael, and I find ourselves in the foreign land of grief, sometimes utterly lost, and sometimes awed by unexpected beauty.
