Their hearts have not grown old;”

“Parents offer an open womb. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can kiss it, and make it well when their grown children need to regress and repair. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can catch you when you start to fall. When you are in disgrace, defeat, and despair, home may be the safest place to hide.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“I saw
without words within me, saw
as if my eyes
had grown bigger and knew
how to look without
being told what it was they saw.”
