If you could see
the journey whole
you might never
undertake it;
might never dare
the first step
that propels you
from the place
you have known
toward the place
you know not.

EXCERPT FROM JAN RICHARDSON'S
"FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FAR TO TRAVEL"
FROM THE INAUGURAL POST
The invisibility of infertility is one of the hardest things to bear; scars on the heart and soul that ache constantly and sting regularly with the salty reminders of what is not. I wish I could describe this grief eloquently or fully, but it is hard to contain the sacred and the raw in words. Yet I am compelled to write, to somehow capture the joys, challenges and lessons learned. I offer these sketches because I do not yet have a whole. This story is still very much in progress. I don't know how it will end, but you're welcome to come along for the ride. I hope that sharing these sketches will help me feel a little less invisible; I hope that if you're struggling with infertility these sketches help you feel a little less invisible, too.
Sketches of (In)Fertility
WHOSOEVER SURVIVES THE TEST MUST TELL HIS (SIC) STORY. THAT IS HIS DUTY.
