i can do it with a broken heart

Jane Hirshfield, from a poem titled "Today, When I Could Do Nothing," featured in The Asking: New and Selected Poems

“First and foremost, I think the coolest thing about it is, I know, I had no entitlement to be there, so to be one of the people that they considered close enough, important enough, however they decided to make their list, was truly an honor. And it’s not my story to tell. I don’t get to say what went on, what it looked like, who was there. I will say this, I had the opportunity to speak to Trav at the reception, and I just hugged him man, and said, ‘You know, the one thing that was extremely evident the entire night, throughout the vows, was, those two humans really love each other, you know?’ Those are two people who are insanely talented, insanely successful, extremely well off, and they had found their person. Like, Trav had been looking for one thing his whole life. She had been looking for one thing her whole life. And they actually got that. And the happiness man, between those two, that they shared that whole night, was truly, truly a blessing to witness, and be a part of, so I wish them nothing but the best.”
