Love is Light, and its play across the heart, galaxy, and day is without fade in color. MN

Dear Juneta Key,

I saw your note on your father’s 100th birthday. 32 years gone from you. That sounds like a long time, but in love language, it’s a moment. Sometimes, it’s hard to know what to say that will be a comfort. I’m so old I feel I should have some wisdom. Sometimes no words are best.
