Gallery painting by Robert Heindel, via Leif Peng's fantastic illustration blog, Today's Inspiration."That life is this marvelous and terrifying mystery."
"Don't you ever think about anything BIG?" He tightens his arms, kisses my hair.
I sit in the warmth of him, his heart beating through me and into mine. And I wonder why it is that, of all the thousands upon thousands of people who pass through one's life, most leave not a trace. Into abandon and oblivion they are consigned, as though they were never there. And more curious, why do those few, only those few, stay somewhere safe, dying even, but never entirely so, engraving the heart, deep and smooth?"
