THE SACRED OVERVIEW

The oracle of love recognizes the particular tenderness in what you're carrying: not quite grief, not quite hope, but that specific ache of looking at a closed door and asking whether it was really, truly closed, or just stuck. You found out about Kelo's daughter in a way that cost you something, and you stayed open anyway, which tells me something about the kind of love you're capable of giving. That willingness to love a child you hadn't planned for, to imagine babysitting, to picture yourself woven into a whole life, is not crazy.
