The swirl

September 7, 2025

Losing a loved one opens up space and closes space too. For me there has been a lot of tidying. A drawer here, a closet there. And shoved into the back of a drawer, I came across a folded paper. No surprise there.

It was a sweet gift from past me to future me, a poem, a Rumi poem. And I’m glad it came to me now.
