I didn't think I'd smile today. Then I saw this, and for a second, I did."
Grief doesn't ask permission before it visits, but neither does joy. Both just arrive, uninvited, in their own time. Today it was this β a dolphin, rising like it had somewhere beautiful to be, wings of golden light trailing behind it.
I let myself smile. Just for a second. Not because the missing is gone, but because somewhere between the sadness, there's still room for moments like this one β small, golden, and enough.
If something small made you smile today, let it count. π
