Each year, I take a photo on (or near) my birthday to capture both the moment and the passage of time. Some photos are better than others; some hold better memories than others.
Today, I add another photo to the collection, a memento from the second birthday I’ve celebrated in this pandemic. Today, I’m especially humbled and overwhelmed, in ways I can’t even express, by the love that surrounds me. I’m so grateful.
What a thing it is “to be alive / on this fresh morning / in the broken world.”
