Everything Maria brings to this interview is so incisively beautiful. It resonates deeply for me. I loved all of it, but I most loved what she said at the end about the kind of love one gives gratuitously knowing all along one will not be able to keep what is loved. What can only be known by experiencing it is that this kind of love is always answered. This kind of surrender always saves us. The answer, the salvation, as Maria so poignantly describes it, is that the heart doesn’t just break. It breaks open.

Grateful for this comment! I want to capture this essence in my memoir. Mary Lynn - you do this so naturally.
…and you are helping me find my voice. Mahalo Kristina!
