For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
Love allows understanding to dawn, and understanding is precious. where you are understood, you are at home. Understanding nourishes belonging. When you really feel understood, you feel free to release yourself into the trust and shelter of the other person’s soul.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxeries; avoid all entaglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulberable.
Watching and being able to document families grow, transform, shift and meld together is such a very special and tender part of my job. A part that fuels me and catches me and one that I won’t take for granted. It’s just astounding to me to be trusted enough to be able to witness such love and incorporate me into such intimate and life-altering moments.

As I saw the morning star come up over the mountains, I realized that life is a collection of memories. But memories are like starlight – they live on forever.
