by 0 members I am fascinated by the idea of life being a mixture of darkness and light. Acceptance of this truth has been a lifelong pursuit for me. So it is with love. Yes, love can bring joy but it can also bring pain. Bearing witness to and having compassion for a loved one's illness helps that person bear it but it is or can be painful to the bearer too. By loving my wife or anyone else, I allow that person to have access to my heart and therefore, to be in a position to damage it.
It is difficult, if not painful, to be the first one to say I am sorry after a conflict, but the result can be joyful and healing.
So this collection is to celebrate love both in its light and its darkness.
