Reflection
To reconnect with the past, one must travel past unbearable emotions.
The journey past anguish and transformation cannot be described in words.
This glazed Sicilian ceramic hung in our home in Italy. It now hangs in our home in the USA.
It reminds me to reconnect to a place (now only found in my heart) where love is unconditional and family and friends often find refuge, acceptance, and peace.
To revive the feeling I can only dig words in Italian:
