the stillness will be the dancing

“I said to my soul be still, and wait without hope; for hope would be hope of the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith. But the faith, and the love, and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: so the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”  T.S. Eliot


..so the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.


I really love this quote today, especially that last part.  It gave me goosebumps.

Our first daughter Kayla, stillborn on May 5, 2011 at 33 weeks due to an undiagnosed teratoma tumor. . Writing about our daughter and connecting with other parents who share our experience has helped me immensely along the way. We welcomed a healthy, living daughter Livia on July 27, 2012.
