Saudade- (portugese)- A melancholic yearning for someone, or something, which is far away or lost. It’s always there, pulsing between the surface with its hopefulness tinged with grief. There is a vague yearning, yet it is interlaid with resignation and the pleasure of remembering past joys.

how heartbreak shows up…
inquiry for today~ may your days be filled with hope for the ages….
Hope is a quality of aliveness. It does not come at the end,
as the feeling that results from a happy outcome.
Rather, it lies at the beginning, as a pulse of truth that sends us forth.
~Cynthia Bourgeault
