The Tenderness of Remembering

11 November 2025 by Jen Waller

A single red poppy stands in soft focus against a muted green background, illuminated by warm light. Two tall, faded seed pods rise beside it. The quote reads: "Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear." (William Shakespeare) The image conveys remembrance, tenderness, and enduring love.

There is no right way to remember. Sometimes it is a breath, a name, or a quiet moment of love that carries on.

A warm sunrise over a vast field of red poppies stretching toward distant hills. The light glows softly through the mist, symbolising remembrance, courage, and peace. The quote reads: “Valor is strength, not of legs and arms, but of heart and soul.” (Michel de Montaigne)

A single tree with red leaves shaped like a heart stands on a hill under a bright blue sky. Beneath it, in black text, is the quote: “There are more people who wish to be loved than there are who are willing to love.” (Nicolas Chamfort) The image suggests warmth, openness, and the expansive nature of love.

When we stop waiting to be loved and allow love to flow through us, we discover it was never missing — only waiting to be noticed.

A close-up of a fountain pen writing on textured paper, softly focused and warmly lit. Text on the image reads: "Like to write? Of course, of course I do. I seem to live while I write — it is life, for me." (Elizabeth Barrett Browning) The image evokes presence, creativity, and the quiet joy of self-expression.

When we’re fully present to what brings us alive, it’s no longer about what we’re doing — it’s about being in it.

The Most Difficult (and Beautiful) Lesson
