"it might have been the summer of heartbreaks, but it was also the summer of bearing witness, because bearing witness is a gift. bearing witness is a blessing. bearing witness is, in itself, an expression of commitment. a promise of timelessness. because when we bear witness, we are eyes that speak with enchantment, chests that rise in truth, skins that taste of memories, mirrors that reflect the passage of time, the passage of love, between us."
