Day 61, Portrait 23 

so nervous to sit across from you. i didn’t know what i would feel. you lifted your head to make eye contact. i was startled by the kindness i felt from you. you were so encouraging. i was amazed by the task you had devoted yourself to and felt so lucky to be there. you gave your time to me. what an incredible gift. you are a healer, marina, and you have touched me deeply.*
