Healing is a sacred pause, a chapter of soul-deep exhale. In these pages, Rita Marie steps out of longing and into communion with God, self, and place. Through poems like Salvation, Rest, and Let Him Love You, she explores themes of surrender, divine intimacy, and the kind of love that doesn't have to be earned to be true. There is a holy softness here, the kind that only follows suffering; where snowflakes become sacraments, memories are consecrated, and even grief finds its place inside grace. This chapter isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about presence. Stillness. And letting herself finally be held, by God, by love, by the misty mountains of Washington, and by a new way of being.
