Solace

The next word I have chosen from Consolations, by David Whyte, is one of the most beautiful words of all:  Solace.

Solace is the art of asking the beautiful question, of ourselves, of our world or of one another, in fiercely difficult and un-beautiful moments.  Solace is what we must look for when the mind cannot bear the pain, the loss or the suffering that eventually touches every life and every endeavor; when longing does not come to fruition in a form we can recognize, when people we know and love disappear, when hope must take a different form than the one we have shaped for it. 

My greatest wish: to bring consolation in the time of need. 

I am here for you.
