For some moments in life there are no words. ~David Seltzer

Have you heard of this? Moments of light showing up in pictures. I had heard but I didn't believe... until my grandmother died. Now, with even the best digital camera on the market, these halo of lights appear. She was there on my birthday, just above a picture that used to hang in her house. I barely believed it, but I was editing pictures last night and I came upon this one. This is the day mom and I found my wedding dress. She is there with us during all the big events. I know she will be there at my wedding and that is comforting to me.

To live in hearts we leave behind


Is not to die.


~Thomas Campbell, "Hallowed Ground"

*that is my mom. I just love this picture.

There are days we live as if death were nowhere in the background....


There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
- Li-Young Lee
