January 20. Caitlin’s been gone a month, and many of us are sharing a national day of mourning. My friend, the wonderful writer Jennie Fields, just shared two new poems written by her friend Kory Wells.
These poems really speak to me, and I hope they will speak to you as well.
“In the dark may you see all that you need…”

I’m so glad these poems speak to you. Sending love and thinking of Caitlin. ❤
Beautiful poems. I am paying zero attention to the inevitability of today’s events, in stark contrast to how hopeful I was 8 years ago. ‘Is it such a weakness to come to a cold end trapped in hope?’
Love that line. Much love to you.
Beautiful. X
What lovely poems… I posted one and linked to Kory’s site. Thinking of you today Maryanne and Nick… and every day. ❤
I am so touched that my poems have given you some comfort today, Cate. From one mother to another, peace and love.
Forgive me for calling you the wrong name, Maryanne-I confused you with a Cate who posted on Jennie’s feed. All best.
Beautiful poems
Such lovely poems. I am particularly touched by “In the Deep of Winter’s Forrest”. I am so glad that you shared them. Sending you both love and hugs.
Kim
Those were lovely. ❤
Thinking of both of you. ❤️🙏
