16 Years

When one person determines another to be accounted for in a marriage and the beginning begins, one cannot fully comprehend or take in what the future may hold. The whole process is a stab in the dark. Yet, if one prevails, the outcome is deliriously amazing. Stability. Belief. Laughter. Anger. Quaintness. Honing. A hand to hold. A heart to beat. A musical touch for the soul. Happy anniversary, Killingworth. May the adventures ahead in our tomorrows, sing many songs.

Death

1/28/2017

Death changes us. We prepare. We think we know. We are even a bit cocky about how we will do things differently. Then when death takes the soul, we are altered. Forever.

The quiet after death is so loud that I think my ears will break. I listen, but hear nothing. And yet, it is soothing in its own comforting way.

I had this same feeling in Chipping Campden in the presence of bodies long gone cold. The experience tried my soul. I cried silent tears. And yet, I was consumed with another knowledge that gave me closer understanding. The universe is so big. And yet, we each distinctly matter. Herein is a large and mind-boggling thought.

Today, I will once again listen to the quiet ticking of the clock, and I will be still, and understand the uniqueness of silence.
