Oh Adrienne, I LOVE that quote by Madeleine L'Engle. Brilliant.
I'm sad to read about your mother. Of course, compared to a gazillion other situations, it's not a tragedy. And it's nice to know that she had no pain. But... the personal loss, the fact that you don't get to spend time with her anymore. That is a tragedy, and you need your time to give that a place. I'm happy that reading and writing poetry has helped you with that. You captured the essence of your loss beautifully and with skill. Thank you for using the form and give it an extra dimension of meaning.
Grief is hard, complicated, messy, human.
💜💜

Hi Arjan, Thank you for your kind words and for creating and sharing the tritriplicata with the world. And yes, isn't that quote just lovely?
