Thank you, Laura, for this lovely collection. I will confess that I have enjoyed your poetry -- that's how we met -- and that I have shared some on Facebook. I put a poem on each day. Since you invite us to share The Shades of Love it will be my offering for Valentine's Day. You speak your love, your shared love, with the heart of gratitude and faith.

I had to look up "chiaroscuro"! What a powerful image of mixing white and black with whatever colors we have, to live even more richly. Very moving side by side with your description of the growth in your marriage. Thank you, Laura.

This has me weeping over my breakfast. Our stories are not the same, but in our 7 year marriage we have lived so much of this ourselves. The things we vow that we never see coming.
