Even after all this time
the sun never says to the earth,
“You owe me.”
Look what happens
with a love like that.
It lights the whole world.

Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too. Read More
Stunning photograph, and I love this quote.
I spent the longest time last week looking at a card with this verse on it, to give to Mani for our six-month anniversary. And here it is again. Thank you, Rudri.
Beautiful. Lovely words, amazing sentiment. I’d never seen this — thanks for sharing.
I saw this quote earlier today and cried. It’s perfect.
This is one of my favorites. What a perfect image to with it, too! Lovely!
Completely gorgeous. It sounds like a quote I’ve heard before, but paired with the photo, it gives it whole new meaning.
