In deepest solitude
I found the narrow way:
a secret giving such release
that I was stunned and stammering
rising above all science.
~ from I CAME INTO THE UNKNOWING by St. John of the Cross
When we truly open our hearts to each other, there is no burden too heavy for us to carry together, there is no pain too deep for us to hold in each other's arms. And it's in that place that the alchemy emerges. It's in the cauldron of sharing our grief with our community, of gazing at it together and not looking away, that the heartbreak turns to hope.
