Book of bone sigh poetry |
honor yourself an offering for those lost in dark places someone very precious recently took her own life. it's such a big deal. and it hit so hard. and it happens all the time. when i sit back and try to hold all of this, i just can't. i was trying to sort my way thru some of the sadness one day when i became overwhelmed with the feeling that i wanted to offer something in her honor. but what? i started thinking about some of the things she went thru and how she didn't know that she was of value... and i thought of other people, still here, who are struggling in their own darkness not understanding their value. i so wanted to reach out and touch those people. i don't know if any of these quotes could actually help someone who's in the darkness. what i do know is that i have to try. when i think of this young woman, i know that i have got to try. it is in her honor...in her memory that i offer this book. if it's dark right now reach for a candle. it matters. |
