A Letter from Love
How beautiful it is to doubt, to be restless, relentless in your pursuit of something you cannot name, this heaviness, this weighted weight of worry and weariness show you how, still, you are trying too hard— show you how you still think you make the sun rise, my darling— it is this heaviness you must turn toward, tend to, in meeting the weight, you meet the bigness that has always been here, has never left, not even for a moment. Let this bigness cradle your tired head in her warm, warrior hands, fall back into her lap of tenderness, let her remind you to set down what was never yours to carry, bring all of your worries and watch how held they are, then lie back, my beautiful love, and rest for as long as it takes to remember.

I love this poem Julia and this line “show you how you still think you make the sun rise, my darling” surprised me in the best way — I thought, “yes, how true”.
"rest for as long as it takes/to remember." Oh yes! Thank you for this deep-breath-of-a-poem, dear Julia. Sending showers of love your way.
