A Seal Upon Thy Heart

Darkness and Light |Endings, Loss and Change |Love and Friendship

I’d been thinking for a number of years  about how to embody attributes of people we love in a meaningful way when we don’t see them for a long time or after their death. The words are from Song of Songs in the Old Testament of the Bible. I find them hugely comforting when thinking about people I love.
