That was beautiful! My sweet sister-in-law, poet/writer Naomi Shihab Nye, suggested I read this as I am recovering from my second breast cancer. I, too, have been a recipient of unconditional love and prayer, and I related to Heather’s story of fragility and love like I owned it. I, too, have swallows nesting here on my backyard on the bay, Ingleside on the Bay TX, and enjoy them so very much. They nest under an old covered boat lift and are so fun to watch.
Thank you, Naomi, for another wonderful suggested reading, and thank you, Martin, for sending the link, and most of all, thank you, Heather, for putting into words and imagery what many may feel but do not know how to express.
Blessings
Julie Nye

Heather, the swallows have always captured my heart and made it soar with them. It is our logo for the Cibolo Nature Center because of their exquisite natural combination of art and nature… and strength. How can something so fragile be so strong? Persistence, I believe is their secret… and yours. But thankfully, you share your secrets and insights. How wonderful it is to hear your voice again and to share your lessons with you. Carolyn

Heather,
How beautifully your words wove the threads of similarities between the swallow family’s life, life in the rugged west for a small family alone, and and your own personal response to the great outpouring of love and support you have received during the last few months. I can feel from the picture you painted with words how you have been touched by these acts of kindness.
Love,
Susan

Oh, dear Heather, what welcome words to receive. You are a master, my friend–of spirit-inspired word.
Love the thought of Kevin rowing across Belgium, don’t you?
