Standing still
in a sacred place.
Lying prostrate on the floor,
enveloped by a choir’s chants.
Now and then, brushed by angel’s wings,
consumed by a deep longing,
eternity breaks through this earthly veil.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Is that Petra in Jordan? Love the ancient, timeless feel here, and “eternity breaks through this earthly veil” is a brilliant closer Randy🤗
