Photograph by Toni Frissell at Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida, USA, 1947
…when you’re sitting in an empty bathtub, weighted on the cold porcelain and as the tub begins to fill with warm water your body is comforted, supported, lifted and separated from the cold. That’s how it feels now. Bouyed by something indefinable, maybe from personal experience of grief and being broken-hearted? That’s not the kind of experience I ever wished to have and know so well, but whatever it takes to move through this quickly. I hope this feeling stays with me for a while and maybe it’s not a passing feeling at all, but a solid way of being.
– Excerpt from the daily writing stuff.
Welcome to the Middle of Life's Blog 
My friend, the poet Louise Mathias, used that photo for the cover of one of her poetry books. It’s so arresting! ‘A solid way of being’. Yes!
I love this photo!
