Nice Richard. This line resonated: “Grief is rarely a sudden collapse. It is a slow unbecoming of sorts.”
“Jesus wept” ends your post appropriately- he grieves the distance we create by moving away from him. He longs for intimacy while we often ignore him or keep him at arm’s length.
Very touching, Richard. I particularly enjoyed the comments you added at the end, which give meaning to what you express above.
Thank you Aaron! I'm glad it connected

That too is a thing to grieve. The loss of intimacy is a widening of distance
Love this whole thing but especially this: “There is a beauty and weight to love, it’s only right that it cost something.”
I'm glad you gave it a read. Thank you<3!
