Kellie, how I appreciate you. 💗🙏💗

Let’s carry gentleness in our hands

and hand it to each other, blow kisses

at those too afraid to let love in,

or out— ❤️. 😘😘😘

This poem made me cry. That opening stanza about letting "the sky fill in the gaps

of what we're trying too hard to understand," and the closing stanza about scattering love, are especially resonant. Thank you for this poem in honor of Andrea. They would shake their head yes to every line of this beautiful poem.

I too gasped at the truth and goodness of that first stanza and all those that followed. Grateful for you Julie 💛💛💛
