Fear not, little heart. Never fear again.

For this is solid and this is good.

And yes, you are too weak
too weak to be her stepping stone
(and she yours!)
but you walk side-by-side
both at once carrying one another
and being carried by that great mystery

But what if it, too, is too weak?
then we will fall
and fall magnificently
and only then, after we are shattered below
sorting our bones to be carried off
will we know

But then, I hear there are other possible outcomes.
And either way, we grow.
and we grow well
