Sarah Rafferty Instagram – Let us agree
for now
that we will not say
the breaking
makes us stronger
or that it is better
to have this pain
than to have done
without this love.
Let us promise
we will not
tell ourselves
time will heal
the wound….
Perhaps for now
it can be enough
to simply marvel
at the mystery
of how a heart
so broken
can go on beating,
as if it were made
for precisely this—
as if it knows
the only cure for love
is more of it,
as if it sees
the heart’s sole remedy
for breaking
is to love still,
as if it trusts
that its own
persistent pulse
is the rhythm
of a blessing
we cannot
begin to fathom
but will save us
nonetheless.

I love you LA, and all the dreamers who call you home.
Praying for everyone who has lost so much, for the firefighters from home and abroad who fight so bravely, for our leaders who must rise so high to this occasion, and for the Angelenos who will keep showing up and organizing for each other with so much love.
