How the things we think will never matter,

matter bigly.

The memories between moments.

Like the bones of my grief

they hold the whole journey together.

Never forsake the simple stuff.

The glances,

the routine of affection,

the style and quality of our easy, everyday love.

How present we are in the crevices of our day.

It turns out this IS the biggest thing.

—Damascena Tanis
