Harper’s Christmas Number, 1893. Edward Penfield (American, 1866-1925). Cover art. Included is How Love Came. A Poem. Alice Archer Sewall.
“THE night was darker than ever before (So dark is sin), When the Great Love came to the stable door And entered in, And laid Himself in the breath of kine And the warmth of hay, And whispered to the Star to shine And to break, the Day. O flowers underneath the snow That chilled His feet, As He passed by did ye not know His footsteps sweet?…”
Endings are…tremendously painful as they are beautiful. Endings are the beginning of a new dawn, as they are the last scene of a story. They represent a turn, a change, something brand new - As we transform, and we move forward - as we’re all meant to do. Endings are taught to be sad - and they can be. But endings can also signify triumph over catastrophe.

Eventually you’ll end up where you need to be, with who you’re meant to be with, and doing what you should be doing. Patience is the key.

That moment when you have to take a deep breath before speaking cause you know you’re so close to crying.
