Introduction

            Love & Loss is endemic to our experiences while we live in a home, town, city, state or province, nation, world and universe. Love & Loss are binaries in various forms. For our experiences, we can consider them gains and detractors, dreams and nightmares, hopes and fears. Love & Loss is like a human interpretation of the Doppler redshift and blue effects found on Earth and in the universe. When we feel love, it's a like plane rushing towards us in a blueshift, it's sound roaring towards us and exciting our heart's content; time shifts slowly, and our hearts swell at it's impending arrival. Loss is the very same plane redshifting, admonishing it's stay and leaving us broken and confused; it leaves behind a vapor trail like a string of fragmented memories, rushing away all too quickly. Yet, between the binary of redshift and blueshift, a moment is secured for us no matter if it's ill or divine. The moment of a loving arrival or loss and an immediate departure from mindfulness is captured in early, 18th century women's writings.
