"From Darkness"

The further I go the more I see Mark in the gifts that come into my life.

The gestures of his living love still keep showing up for me.

The further I go the more I can feel past my bitterness.

Yesterday and tomorrow it always hits me and throws me back into darkness.

But the confusing truth about the dark is the light is the brightest there. Its more fertile there. There is more hope and relilience there.

Its a place we would never choose, but finding ourselves there, we get everything we are seeking if we allow it.

The gardenias he planted for me when we thought we'd be there a lifetime to see them grow.

I keep finding them like little lights on a path showing me where I am going.

I miss making photographs.

Maybe soon I will feel it again. I picked up my camera yesterday for the first time in a while. My kids were playing together. That is what I can’t resist! So there is hope 🥰

My husband died in February.

I shot every moment he was still alive. And then, once he was gone, I put my camera down.

If i picked it up, it was wrote and empty. I stopped trying. I let go.

Since then I have been slowing waking back up to life and joys and caring to document what is happening around me.

Now I am beginning again, to find my joys. To find my way to use what i love to do as a way to heal, not hide.

I am still a mess, and no one can argue with that. But I am ready to get up and see what I can do.

Here i am, making a mess out of a mess. And its helping. It makes me happy. I know now how important it is to live, while we still are living.

Here I am. finding my way.
