Grief is the Thing with Feathers. Max Porter.
The recent death of your wife has made you a single father, so you turn to a crow for help, but the crow’s advice is hard to follow.

I just realised, my Nephew never talks about "My house" or "Home".
The place he lives he calls "Aunty [Name]'s house".
His house no longer exists. It burnt down, taking his dad and little brother.
He is such an amazing young man, there is such pain there but he still laughs easily, is full of the same mischief his dad had, and has such a beautiful presence about him - just like his dad did.

When the Egyptians were drowning in the Red Sea, the angels in heaven began to break forth in songs of jubilation, but the Holy One, blessed be He, silenced them: “My creatures are perishing — and ye are ready to sing!”

Manga box sets of the deceased used as squat weights.
Bereaved families perform squats with the box sets, but fear next-day soreness is a spiritual haunting.

I Thought I Was Shopping at Dior. I Was Really Looking for Baby Lux.
From the outside, it looked like a family enjoying a beautiful afternoon at Dior—champagne, chocolates, laughter, and a husband buying his wife a ring. But what no one could see was everything that was happening inside me. I thought I was shopping for jewelry. Looking back, I realize I was searching for something far deeper. -

We Live In The Shadowlands
Shadow Carress, Rolling RidgeSeveral years ago, I watched Shadowlands and was deeply touched. The movie tells the true story of the author C.S. Lewis (Jack), who though an award-winning author, leads a relatively passionless life until he meets an American divorcee, Joy Gresham. It is the beginning of a deep love, a love that changes both of them in a powerful way, and deepens their faith in God. But their time together is short as Joy becomes terminally ill with cancer.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night afraid that something horrible has happened to someone that I love. So I pray for everyone I can think of. I reach my hand over and draw comfort from the warmth and breath of my wife who still sleeps beside me. Slowly my fear ebbs away because for another night the Angel of Death has passed over the doors of those who are closest to me. (Though I do not think it has very much to do with my prayers).
I want to pray as hard for everyone in the world as I pray for my family and friends. The Angel of Death does not always pass over. I do not want to live my life in fear. I do not want to be afraid of the pain that comes with being close to people and thereby miss the happiness that comes from their presence.
In the movie, Joy, in pushing Jack to be present to ALL of life, states: “We can’t have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That’s the deal.”
We live in the Shadowlands, between the sunrise and sunset. But the sun is always present and as long as I cast a shadow, it means that I am alive. Alive to live and love and care and hurt to the fullest of my being.
That’s the deal.

This is my friend Cricket. She's been my best friend for 11 years, my constant companion.
She got sick, and today was her last day. I miss her terribly.
I just wanted people to know about her. Thank you for looking. -

A Question of Conscience
Are you dead, my guide?
Or have you simply sunk into the muck
that creeps upon these inner corridors,
drowning in helpless demise?
The glass is obscured and the
bright moon has faded into the mist
while I, like a blind hand groping,
stand trembling in this night,
waiting.October 28, 1988, Curridabat, Costa Rica
Part of the continuing Respectful American series, a selection of writings from my travel journals from Central America in 1988

Between the Lines #1
I wrote this before this blog ever existed. It was tucked away in one of my notebooks, waiting for the right place to live. I think it found that place here. Scars The gods always asked for sacrifices. Some were given lambs. Some were given daughters. I was given myself. No temple stood above me, no choir sang my name, yet something holy was taken all the same. Every pale line is another language my body learned instead of peace. The ones across my legs look like rivers on […]https://destinylaharris.wordpress.com/2026/07/20/between-the-lines-1/

Today should be my nephew's 7th birthday.
Instead he will be forever 4 years old.
Please, make sure you know what to do in case of a fire. Know which adult is going for which child. Practice your escape routes.
Does the plan change if you have young grandkids staying over?

I just realised that Nephew is no longer packing all his things into bags as he goes to bed. For a while he did this in case there was a fire so that he could get all his stuff out the house easier.
I am hoping the fact that he has stopped means that he is healing from what he went through.
He is such an amazing young man. I am so damned proud of him and wish his dad could see him now.
