Holding Sweetness

9 March 2026

We were in our 20s when we met. But we’ve always lived on opposite ends of the island. We meet at most twice a year. Some years we don’t meet at all.

But when we do meet, we relax into the comforting presence of people who have known us and accepted us for a long time.

And today after so many years, we discovered our shared delight in coconut candy squares!

In that moment we were children again – pure simplicity & delight in a square of compressed coconut flakes held together by condensed milk.

And for a few minutes, we dropped our adulting amour as we held Sweetness close to our heart. 🙏
