The Blue Robe
How joyful to be together, alone
as when we first were joined
in our little house by the river
long ago, except that now we know
each other, as we did not then;
and now instead of two stories fumbling
to meet, we belong to one story
that the two, joining, made. And now
we touch each other with the tenderness
of mortals, who know themselves:
how joyful to feel the heart quake
at the sight of a grandmother,
old friend in the morning light,

How beautiful, Kris. Thank you.
Yours is one of my most favorite blogs to check. I have been feeling small too as of late, yet find it to be stragely relieving to know I don't have to be big. Wish we could hang out--there is much I'd like to learn from you.
